How can schema mismatch affect PHP cookies and website functionality?

Schema mismatch can affect PHP cookies and website functionality by causing errors when trying to access or set cookies with different schema definitions. To solve this issue, ensure that the schema used to set cookies matches the schema used to access them. This can be done by specifying the correct path, domain, and secure parameters when setting cookies.

// Set cookie with correct schema
setcookie('example_cookie', 'value', time() + 3600, '/', 'example.com', true);

// Access cookie with correct schema
if(isset($_COOKIE['example_cookie'])) {
    $cookie_value = $_COOKIE['example_cookie'];
    // Use the cookie value as needed
}
