Update cookies values in js or php

 In js 

To update a cookie value using JavaScript, you can follow these steps:


1. **Get the existing cookie value:**

   Use `document.cookie` to get the current value of the cookie.


2. **Parse the cookie string:**

   Cookies are stored as a string in the format "name=value; expires=date;". Parse this string to extract the current value.


3. **Update the value:**

   Modify the extracted value as needed.


4. **Set the updated cookie:**

   Use `document.cookie` to set the cookie with the updated value.


Here's a simple example:


```javascript

// Step 1: Get the existing cookie value

const existingCookieString = document.cookie;


// Step 2: Parse the cookie string

const cookieArray = existingCookieString.split(';');

let cookieObject = {};

cookieArray.forEach(cookie => {

    const [name, value] = cookie.trim().split('=');

    cookieObject[name] = value;

});


// Step 3: Update the value

if (cookieObject.yourCookieName) {

    // Update the value as needed

    cookieObject.yourCookieName = 'newUpdatedValue';

}


// Step 4: Set the updated cookie

document.cookie = Object.entries(cookieObject)

    .map(([name, value]) => `${name}=${value}`)

    .join('; ');

```


Replace `'yourCookieName'` and `'newUpdatedValue'` with the actual name of your cookie and the new value you want to set.


Keep in mind that this is a basic example, and for more complex scenarios or additional cookie attributes (e.g., expiration date, path, domain), you might need a more sophisticated approach or consider using a library like `js-cookie`.


In php

In PHP, you can update a cookie value by setting a new cookie with the same name. Here's a basic example:


```php

<?php

// Step 1: Get the existing cookie value

$existingValue = isset($_COOKIE['yourCookieName']) ? $_COOKIE['yourCookieName'] : '';


// Step 2: Update the value as needed

$newValue = 'newUpdatedValue';


// Step 3: Set the updated cookie

setcookie('yourCookieName', $newValue, time() + 3600, '/'); // Adjust the expiration time as needed


// Note: The fourth parameter '/' in setcookie specifies the path on the server in which the cookie will be available.

?>

```


Replace `'yourCookieName'` and `'newUpdatedValue'` with the actual name of your cookie and the new value you want to set. Adjust the expiration time (`time() + 3600` in this example) as needed.


This code sets a new cookie with the updated value and the same name, effectively updating the existing cookie on the client's browser. Keep in mind that the updated value won't be available until the next page load or request after setting the new cookie.
