find dynamic cookie name

[pwfans]

Hello all,
Is there a way to find cookies that generated using dynamic name ? like "name_randomcode" eg: name_123z, name_321x, etc ..

You'll have to look through the $_COOKIE superglobal to find the cookie name that matches your format. You can do that with regular array functions. For example:

// just for testing
$_COOKIE['name_xyz'] = 'Test value';
$_COOKIE['name_foo'] = 'Bar';

$cookieNames = array_filter(array_keys($_COOKIE), function ($key) {
	// check if the cookie name starts with "name_"
    return preg_match('/^name_/', $key) === 1;
}));

print_r($cookieNames);
// -> Array ( [6] => name_xyz [7] => name_foo ) 

print_r($_COOKIE[current($cookieNames)]);
// -> Test value

Adjust the preg_match pattern to match the pattern you're looking for. The result will be an array of keys that match your format. Note that this array is NOT zero-indexed, because array_filter doesn't change the keys, hence the use of current to get the first value. Alternatively, use array_values to zero-index the array, or foreach to loop through all matching cookies.

If you dislike the raw use of $_COOKIE, you can also use $input->cookie()->getArray() (docs).
