when a php header() function is used to set multiple cookies, only the last cookie works. All other cookie set attempts before are discarded. For example:
header("Set-Cookie: cookie1=fox; expires=Mon, 28-Sep-20 10:24:49 GMT; path=/");
header("Set-Cookie: cookie2=fish; expires=Mon, 28-Sep-20 10:24:49 GMT; path=/");
only cookie2 is set here. How can i set several cookies successfully by using header() method?
(header method also discards the setcookie functions sent before)
Use the second argument to false
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8) header — Send a raw HTTP header
header(string $header, bool $replace = true);
The optional replace parameter indicates whether the header should replace a previous similar header, or add a second header of the same type. By default it will replace, but if you pass in false as the second argument you can force multiple headers of the same type. For example:
<?php
header('WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate');
header('WWW-Authenticate: NTLM', false);
?>

As rugolinifr said, "set the second argument to false", as per https://www.php.net/manual/fr/function.header.php
false. An read the doc php.net/manual/fr/function.header.php !
