Note that, since cookies are set in the HTTP headers, they shall be set before the HTML (or whatever you transmit over HTTP) output starts.

See PHP.net. Basically,

<syntaxhighlight lang="php"> //setcookie ( string $name [, string $value [, int $expire = 0 [, string $path [, string $domain [, bool $secure = false [, bool $httponly = false ]]]]]] )

setcookie('my_lover', 'hero hitler (or was it Mr. #?)', time()+1800, '/', '.staff.blackhatacademy.org', false, false); // the false, false at the end is not mandatory, since these parameters are marked as optional. // $value is to be set to the desired value. Note that you shall not use booleans, as setting $value to false will delete the cookie // $expire is the timestamp at which this cookie shall expire // $domain sets the Domain flag (see Flags section // $secure sets the Secure flag (see Flags section // $httponly sets the HttpOnly flag (see Flags section </syntaxhighlight>

Note that PHP takes care of encoding and crap for you, so don't bother with that
