Setting cookies in Laravel Octane / Swoole

Question

I'm attempting to set cookies on Laravel Octane, however the cookies appear to be not defined on the given index.

setcookie(self::JWT_TOKEN_COOKIE, $token_details['access_token'], [
         'httponly' => true,
         'expires' => time() + $token_details['expires_in'],
         'path' => '/'
]);

die($_COOKIE[self::JWT_TOKEN_COOKIE]);

When attempting to print the Cookie, I get an error telling me it hasnt been set.

Undefined array key "JWT_TOKEN"

Is there something wrong in the way I'm setting cookies in Laravel Octane? Is there a new class I should be using to use these as the application is now fully held in RAM/loaded once?

Answer 1

The setcookie function add the Set-Cookie header

Superglobal array $_COOKIE reads from the Cookie header

Remove the die function and reload the page, cookie will appear

Example

<?php

setcookie('a', 'b', ['httponly' => true, 'expires' => time() + 30, 'path' => '/']);

print_r($_COOKIE);

Request to the script with saving cookies to tmp file

Use laravel response object to send the cookie
