<h2>set_cookie()</h2>
-<p>Sets a cookie containing the values you specify. There are two ways to pass information to this function so that a cookie can be set:
-Array Method, and Discrete Parameters:</p>
-
-<h4>Array Method</h4>
-
-<p>Using this method, an associative array is passed to the first parameter:</p>
-
-<code>$cookie = array(<br />
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'name'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;=> 'The Cookie Name',<br />
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'value'&nbsp;&nbsp;=> 'The Value',<br />
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'expire' => '86500',<br />
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'domain' => '.some-domain.com',<br />
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'path'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;=> '/',<br />
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'prefix' => 'myprefix_',<br />
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;);<br />
-<br />
-set_cookie($cookie);
-</code>
-
-<p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
-
-<p>Only the name and value are required. To delete a cookie set it with the expiration blank.</p>
-
-<p>The expiration is set in <strong>seconds</strong>, which will be added to the current time. Do not include the time, but rather only the
-number of seconds from <em>now</em> that you wish the cookie to be valid. If the expiration is set to
-zero the cookie will only last as long as the browser is open.</p>
-<p>For site-wide cookies regardless of how your site is requested, add your URL to the <strong>domain</strong> starting with a period, like this: .your-domain.com</p>
-<p>The path is usually not needed since the function sets a root path.</p>
-<p>The prefix is only needed if you need to avoid name collisions with other identically named cookies for your server.</p>
-
-<h4>Discrete Parameters</h4>
-
-<p>If you prefer, you can set the cookie by passing data using individual parameters:</p>
-
-<code>set_cookie($name, $value, $expire, $domain, $path, $prefix);</code>
+<p>This helper function gives you view file friendly syntax to set browser cookies. Refer to the <a href="../libraries/input.html">Input class</a> for a description of use, as this function is an alias to $this->input->set_cookie().</p>
<h2>get_cookie()</h2>
-<p>Lets you fetch a cookie. The first parameter will contain the name of the cookie you are looking for (including any prefixes):</p>
-
-<code>get_cookie('some_cookie');</code>
-
-<p>The function returns FALSE (boolean) if the item you are attempting to retrieve does not exist.</p>
+<p>This helper function gives you view file friendly syntax to get browser cookies. Refer to the <a href="../libraries/input.html">Input class</a> for a description of use, as this function is an alias to $this->input->cookie().</p>
-<p>The second optional parameter lets you run the data through the XSS filter. It's enabled by setting the second parameter to boolean TRUE;</p>
-<p><code>get_cookie('some_cookie', TRUE);</code></p>
<h2>delete_cookie()</h2>
<p>Lets you delete a cookie. Unless you've set a custom path or other values, only the name of the cookie is needed:</p>
