I'm trying to set a PHP cookie to expire 1 Year from when the user logged in, and I'm doing it this way:
setcookie("myCookie",'exampleUserName',(365 * 24 * 60) ,'/');
The problem is, when I view the cookie using the console in Chrome or Firefox, it show Expires Sun, 05, 2014 in Chrome and Expires = Session in Firefox.
Any other site like Google or stackoverflows cookies show the correct expiration date.
How can I set this right?

The PHP isset() checks whether a cookie is set. Reminder: if you detect PHP setcookie not working, make sure it appears before the <html> element in your code, and that the set path parameter is correct.
php setcookie("TestName", "Test Value", time()+3600 * 24 * 365); ?> >> Here 'TestName' is name of cookie. >> "Test Value" is value to store. >> time()+3600 * 24 * 365 - will set cookie time till 1 year.
PHP Create/Retrieve a Cookie The cookie will expire after 30 days (86400 * 30). The "/" means that the cookie is available in entire website (otherwise, select the directory you prefer).
Syntax: document. cookie = "cookieName= true; expires=Tue, 19 Jan 2038 04:14:07 GMT"; // OR const cookieName = "something"; const cookieValue = "something"; const daysToExpire = new Date(2147483647 * 1000).
Why the php setcookie did not work as expected? In this case, the cookie is set to expire in short time. However, the specified expire time will be compared with the local time of the computer on which the browser is running, not the server time.
Note that php also sets the value of the cookie to “deleted”, not “”. Browser uses the “expires” value instead of the value of the cookie to determine whether the cookie has expired or not. Note also that as long as you set a past expiration time, even 1 second ago, the same Set-Cookie will be sent to the client.
As of PHP 7.3.0 the setcookie () method supports the SameSite attribute in its options and will accept None as a valid value. For earlier versions of PHP, you can set the header () directly: header ('Set-Cookie: cross-site-cookie=bar; SameSite=None; Secure'); up.
The setcookie () function defines a cookie to be sent along with the rest of the HTTP headers. A cookie is often used to identify a user. 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.
setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, strtotime("+1 year"));
Do like this...
setcookie("myCookie",'exampleUserName',time()+31556926 ,'/');// where 31556926 is total seconds for a year.
