How to create PHP Login Script using Cookies

If you are looking for tutorial on How to create PHP Login Logout page by using Cookies, then you have come to right place, in this post we have describe How to make PHP login script by using Cookies. We have already describe How to Create PHP Login form by using Session with different option like PHP PDO, object Oriented and in Codeigniter also. But in all post we have use Session for make PHP login logout script. But here we have implement Cookies for developed PHP Login Logout script.

We all know Session are more secured than Cookies. Sessions data are store on server while Cookies data are store on user browser. Cookies are lighter than Session and Cookies can be easily hack. These are all drawback of using Cookies for Login system. But here we have only describe we can also use Cookies for developing Login system in PHP. We have make this tutorial only for learning purpose.

So, In this post we will make simple Login form with logout form. For password verification we have use password_verify() hash method for validate encrypted password. If user has enter proper data then after in this script we have create one cookie variable which we can access from whole system by using setcookies function. After creating coookie variable now we want to validate that cookie variable, so we have use isset() function, by using this function we can validate this $_COOKIE variable. After login into system now we want to logout from system, for logout from system also we have setcookie() and by using this function we can also destroy cookie value also. So, this way we can use setcookie() function we can create or destroy value also. After destroying cookie value now we can logout from system. This way we can use COOKIE for developing login form in PHP

  $statement->execute(
   array(
    'user_email' => $_POST["user_email"]
   )
  );
  $count = $statement->rowCount();
  if($count > 0)
  {
   $result = $statement->fetchAll();
   foreach($result as $row)
   {
    if(password_verify($_POST["user_password"], $row["user_password"]))
    {
     setcookie("type", $row["user_type"], time()+3600);
     header("location:index.php");
    }
    else
    {
     $message = '<div class="alert alert-danger">Wrong Password</div>';
