Hi Samir,
A cookie is often used to identify a user. A cookie is a small file that the server embeds on the user's computer. Each time the same computer requests for a page with a browser, it will send the cookie too. With PHP, you can both create and retrieve cookie values.
Ex: If you can tick remember me on this computer check box then your information stored on that computer and later if you open the browser and same server then your information is retrieved from that cookie variables |
