Re: multiple domains using one cookie

Actually, that's not entirely accurate. You can set cookies for multiple domains on one HTML page -- you simply have to write a page that calls one image from each domain that you want to set a cookie on, even if that image is nothing but a 1x1 transparent gif. Cookie management and updating will be a challenge moving forth, but you should get the result you're looking for. --kurt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Maggelet" <maggelet@mminternet.com> To: <tobias@talltorp.com>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 11:45 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] multiple domains using one cookie On Thu, 5 Jul 2001 14:59:19 +0200, Tobias Talltorp (tobias@talltorp.com) wrote: >Hello all. > >I want multiple domains to be able to read from one cookie, or set >one >cookie each for the different domains. > >Here is the case: >When the user logs in to my server, I want to set a cookie that has >the >value $name="tobias".
