Problem
You want to check a cookie value sent to your application.
You know you could use the PHP $_COOKIE superglobal, but want to do it the Laravel way.
Solution
Use Cookie::get().
// $val will be null if cookie not present
$val = Cookie::get('COOKIE_NAME');
// Or you can pass a default, if not present
$name = Cookie::get('NAME', 'Unknown');
echo "Hello $name";
$val = Cookie::get('COOKIE_NAME');
// Or you can pass a default, if not present
$name = Cookie::get('NAME', 'Unknown');
echo "Hello $name";
Discussion
This is basically the same as Request::cookie().
In fact, the Cookie::get() method is actually a wrapper over Request::cookie().
