PHP Cookie library
==================

[](#php-cookie-library)

PHP library for handling cookies, based on the excellent library from Josantonius:

Basically it's a fork with modifications for PHP 8 upwards (union types ecc.), transforming the static methods to normal ones and real-time updates of the $\_COOKIE array.
