Does context->cookie behave like $_SESSION?

[theillo]

Just want to do some stuff for which I would normally use $_SESSION. I'd know its secure on the server, uniquely assigned for each user.

 

Just want to make sure that  context->cookie behaves the same way - meaning nothing is stored locally, and nothing can be modified or accessed by a tech savvy user.

 

Does anybody know?

Hello,

 

context->cookie is a wrapper for $_COOKIE. So it will be stored locally on the computer

Oops, not what I was hoping for...

 

I guess they talk about how to use the session instead, here:

so I'll just be doing this:

if(!isset($_SESSION))
{
   session_start();
}

$_SESSION['myvar'] = $myval;
