Read PHP cookie from JavaScript cookie

Question

When I make a JavaScript cookie like this:

document.cookie = "hh=234,23423,324";

And I read it from PHP like this:

echo ($_COOKIE['hh']);

It is only returning the value: 234 and not: 234,23423,324

In google chrome resources tab the entire value is shown as '234,23423,324'.

Any information is helpful [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/5IpXg.png

You need to store your cookie as a string and not as a number. Otherwise your cookie may be interpreted as number, stopping parsing at first non-digit character.

Try this in JavaScript: document.cookie = 'hh="234,23423,324"';

Read more in Mozilla's cookie documentation.

Can you check if your cookie content is 234,23423,324 or "234,23423,324" please ?
