Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-14 09:09:55] shaggy@vip.bg I use PHP compiled from sources, ./configure --with-pgsql --with-mysql --with-zlib --with-apache=dir Consider the following code has been executed, and another page loaded setcookie('test', 'value1', time()+3600, '/foo/bar/'); setcookie('test', 'value2', time()+3600, '/'); setcookie('test', 'value3', time()+3600, '/foo/'); When a browser requests a file under the /foo/bar/ directory it sends the cookies with the most specific one first: test="value1"; $Path="/foo/bar"; test="value3"; $Path="/foo/"; test="value2"; $Path="/"; Then PHP processes these and it overrides the first two cookies with the most general one which is incorrect. The correct behaviour is to leave the value of the cookie set to the most specific one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18337&edit=1
