How do I set and read cookies in PHP?

This is much simpler to do than the JavaScript method. Use the setcookie() function. The cookie can, after the next page load, be read via the $_COOKIES variable.

Setting cookies can be tricky, be sure to specify at least a path of the optional parameters, or your cookies will not work in some older browsers.
