How to retrieve cookie value in CodeIgniter?

Question

I can print the session values in codeigniter by print_r($this->session->userdata); How can I print the cookies in codeigniter? I have just set a cookie:

$cookie = array(
          'name'   => 'test_cookie',
          'value'  => 'test',
          'domain' => '/',
          'secure' => TRUE
          );

$this->input->set_cookie($cookie); 

How can i print the above cookie?

Answer 1

Look at the documentation: Codeigniter Cookie Helper Guide

It says that you should use $this->input->cookie() to retrieve a cookie:

$this->input->cookie('test_cookie', TRUE);
