I have run into a wierd problem with cookies. I am trying to set a cookie as
usual:
$COOKIE_EXPIRES = 3600;
$COOKIE_VALID_PATH = "/mydirectory/";
$COOKIE_DOMAIN = ".myhost.com"
setcookie("mycookie1", "somevalue", time()+$COOKIE_EXPIRES,
$COOKIE_VALID_PATH, $COOKIE_DOMAIN, 0)
I want this cookie to be valid only for the directory /mydirectory in the
server www.myhost.com. i.e. only for http://www.myhost.com/mydirectory/
The problem is that it works fine with IE 5.5 & Opera 8.5 & Firefox 1.5. But
the cookies are not being accepted by IE 6 & Opera 9.0.
And this is the header I captured through ethreal:
Set-Cookie: mycookie1=somevalue; expires=Wed,19-Jul-2006 17:08:59 GMT; path=/
mydirectory/; domain=.myhost.com\r\n
I am sure I am not doing something totally wrong because it works well with
some versions. Are there any known issues with the later versions of IE and
Opera.
Thanks in advance.
