How many cookies can you set in your PHP page? The answer is depending what is the Web browser your visitor is using. Each browser has its own limit:
- Internet Explorere (IE): 20
- Mozilla FireFox: 50
If you want to test this limit, copy this sample script, how_many_cookies.php, to your Web server:
<?php
$count = count($_COOKIE);
$name = "Cookie_".($count+1);
$value = "FYICenter.com";
setcookie($name, $value);
print("<pre>\n");
print("One cookies were added.\n");
print("$count cookies received.\n");
foreach ($_COOKIE as $name => $value) {
print " $name = $value\n";
}
print("</pre>\n");
?>
Open your browser to this page for first time, you will see:
One cookies were added. 0 cookies received.
Click the refresh button, you will see:
One cookies were added. 1 cookies received. Cookie_1 = FYICenter.com
Keep clicking the refresh button, you will see the limit of your browser.
