Is it possible to get $_COOKIE with TypoScript?

In TypoScript exists the possibility to get the environment variable HTTP_COOKIE_VARS (which is deprecated):

10 = TEXT
10.data = global : HTTP_COOKIE_VARS | some_cookie

I got this from the documentation.

But on my server (PHP 5.3) this variable is empty! I suppose this is because this environment variable is deprecated. Now I am running out of options, without using an extension, user function or user condition.

Maybe you have an idea! Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • this should do the job (at least with TYPO3 4.5 and PHP 5.3.8):

    10 = TEXT
10.data = global:_COOKIE|some_cookie
10.wrap = <h2>Cookie: |</h2>
