如何检查jQuery中是否设置了PHP Cookie

Question

I am developing w php web site. Here I have set a php cookie

 setcookie('hotelId',$resHotel); 

I want to check whether it's set or not using jquery or javascript. I have used the following code

if($.cookie('hotelId')) {
        alert("yes");
    };

But it's not working

Is there is any way to find PHP cookie is exist or not in jquery

Thanks

Answer 1

That should work if these two conditions are met:

• you have installed the extra library that you need to use $.cookie()
• you have called setcookie() before outputting any part of your html

Answer 2

Are you sure that you have the right libraries loaded into the page? I don't think cookie behavior is included with jQuery by default.

You can view cookies manually easily. The method varies a little from browser to browser, but (in Firefox, for example) if you go to Preferences > Privacy > remove individual cookies, you can browse through them and see their contents. This can help you debug whether your php code is setting the cookie as desired.

Answer 3

First get the specified cookie as follows

var cookie=$.cookie("set");
if(!cookie)
{
   $.cookie("set","foo"); //if there is no cookie set it
}
