===== Simple setting of a cookie =====

Setting of a simple cookie with a lifespan of 7 days.

<code php>

require_once 'CookieHandler/CookieHandler.php'

$Cookie = new CookieHandler("Supercookie");

$Cookie->SetValidity(7);
$Cookie->WriteTextContent("Cookie text");

</code>

===== The simpler way... =====

... to save one line of code.

<code php>

require_once 'CookieHandler/CookieHandler.php'

$Cookie = new CookieHandler("Supercookie");

$Cookie->WriteTextContent("Cookie text", 7);

</code>

===== Reading a cookie =====

You can read data stored in a cookie the following way.

<code php>

require_once 'CookieHandler/CookieHandler.php'

$Cookie = new CookieHandler("Supercookie");

$CookieText = $Cookie->ReadTextContent();  // "Cookie-Text"

</code>

===== What about this JSON method? =====

Sometimes it could be helpful to store more that simple text. e.g. the content of a PHP array as content string. This could be done the following way for a cookie with a lifespan of 10 days and 12 hours.

<code php>

require_once 'CookieHandler/CookieHandler.php'

$Cookie = new CookieHandler("UserCookie");
$UserArray = array ( 
   "name"     => "Mr. Smith",
   "passwort" => "secret");

// Writing the object content als JSON string  
$Cookie->WriteJsonContent($UserArray, 10, 12);

// [...]

// Reading the JSON string into an array
$NewArray = $Cookie->ReadJsonContent();

</code>

===== Removing a cookie =====

If a cookie should be removed completly, it can be deleted. The cookieis removed from the storage and the current browser session.

<code php>

require_once 'CookieHandler/CookieHandler.php'

$Cookie = new CookieHandler("Supercookie");

$Cookie->DeleteCookie();

</code>
