Is there a difference between javascript cookies and php cookies?

There is no difference between cookies stored through js and ones stored through php, they are the same. Thanks. There is no difference between cookies stored through js and ones stored through php, they are the same.
A cookie is a small file that the server embeds on the user's computer. Each time the same computer requests a page with a browser, it will send the cookie too. With PHP, you can both create and retrieve cookie values.
JavaScript can create, read, and delete cookies with the document.cookie property. With JavaScript, a cookie can be created like this: document.cookie = "username=John Doe"; You can also add an expiry date (in UTC time).
Both of them accomplish much the same thing. The main difference between cookies and sessions is that information stored in a cookie is stored on the visitor's browser, and information stored in a session is not—it is stored at the web server. This difference determines what each is best suited for.
HTTP Cookies are not a feature of PHP, nor a feature of Javascript : those are just programming languages that allow a developper to manipulate them.
But cookies are still the same : they are defined as a standard -- see RFC 2965.
This is a security measure -- and is not a difference between "js cookies" and "php cookies" : it's just a property of some cookies.

No, cookies are defined by an RFC spec.
