AFAIK, this could be a security risk, so even if PHP would allow it (which it might - I don't know), there is a good chance most browsers would not. I certainly wouldn't count on being able to do so. You could however use something like AJAX to do an asynchronous request to domain2, which would be allowed to set the domain2 cookie by virtue of actually being domain2. jon Peter Lauri wrote:
Best group member, When a user does a specific action on domain1.com I want a cookie to be set so that domain1.com and domain2.com can reach it. Ok, after reading the manual for setcookie() I tried this: setcookie("thevariable", "thevalue", time()+60*60*24*30, "/", ".domain1.com"); setcookie("thevariable", "thevalue", time()+60*60*24*30, "/", ".domain2.com"); However, I can not detect the cookie at domain2.com. A solution would be to just make a redirect to the other domain where the cookie is set and then return. Question is: Can I not set a cookie at domain1.com to work at domain2.com?
