ID: 18337 Comment by: dsguy04@hotmail.com Reported By: shaggy@vip.bg Status: Open Bug Type: HTTP related Operating System: All PHP Version: 4.2 New Comment: how do i fix it using http://files.derickrethans.nl/cookie_patch.diff ?????? what do i do with that stuff?????? im having this prob too Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-08 19:10:27] shaggy@vip.bg You're quiete right, the problem is I don't know how one can store this information in the _COOKIE array without breaking old apps. The Netscape docs actually are superceded by an RFC, anyway it says that if there's more than one cookie the most specific should be taken into account - if the app can't deal with them all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-08 06:54:08] jait@ee.oulu.fi Correct me if I'm wrong but according to http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html it seems that there can be multiple cookie definitions with the same name. And as long as the path is different NONE of them should get overrided. And if BOTH name and path equal the most recent cookie should be the only one that's valid. So don't you think the correct behaviour is to pass ALL the cookies to the script as long as the path is different? But this is kinda difficult with the way the $_COOKIE array is currently implemented. jt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-06 14:05:27] blackdragon3001@hotmail.com I have win XP and PHP 4.2.2!
