Check Cookie is set from the module by using its method

[prestashop_newuser]

Hi,

I am developing a module in Prestashop 1.6.X . In this module I am setting a custom cookie using js. 

Now in the module php file I am  checking if the cookie is set then do something. So for that I am doing this code

if (isset( $_COOKIE['mycookie'] )) { 

echo 'hello';

}

Here mycookie is the cookie name that I have made set using js.Its working fine. But when I am trying to validate the module its showing error. It is showing error like

The use of $_COOKIE is forbidden; use Context::getContext()->cookie instead

. So can someone tell me how to check the cookie name by using Context::getContext()->cookie.

 

I have tried 

Context::getContext()->cookie('mycookie')

.But its not working. 

Any help and suggestions will be really appreciable. Thanks

I'm also stuck on this topic.

 

I have tried the below code but didn't work.

Context::getContext()->cookie->mycookie;

Any help on this topic is much appreciated.

Try the following:

Context::getContext()->cookie->exists();

Does that code check if cookie exists or not?

If yes, then its not the solution I'm looking for.

 

My question is very well explained in first post of this topic.

 

Below is my code in JS file.

$('.apply').click(function() {
   $.cookie('MyName', 'John');
});

 

Currently, I use below code in PHP file.

if ( isset($_COOKIE['MyName']) ) {
   $_COOKIE['MyName'];
}

It works perfect but using $_COOKIE shows error while validating the module.

 

So, how to get this cookie in module's PHP file?

Sorry, I thought you were just trying to check whether the PrestaShop cookie exists using the Cookie class. It's impossible to use the Cookie class to load a custom cookie. You should consider adding your custom variables to PrestaShop's cookie instead of a separate cookie.
