How can PHP developers ensure that cookie names are generated dynamically and incrementally without manual intervention?

To dynamically generate and increment cookie names without manual intervention, PHP developers can utilize a counter stored in a session variable. By incrementing this counter each time a new cookie is set, developers can create unique and sequential cookie names automatically. 

<?php
session_start();

if (!isset($_SESSION['cookie_counter'])) {
    $_SESSION['cookie_counter'] = 1;
}

$cookie_name = 'cookie_' . $_SESSION['cookie_counter'];
$cookie_value = 'example_value';
$expiry = time() + 3600; // 1 hour

setcookie($cookie_name, $cookie_value, $expiry);

$_SESSION['cookie_counter']++;
?>
