For some reason setting a cookie path without a domain does not appear to work, eg. <?php setcookie('cookieName', 'cookieValue', time()+3600, '/'); ?> The path remains the default; 'The default value is the current directory that the cookie is being set in'. So you cannot access the cookie from outside that sub-directory. However if you set the cookie with a blank domain, eg. <?php setcookie('cookieName', 'cookieValue', time()+3600, '/', false); ?> Then the path override will work and you can access it from any path in the domain using the code in the above example ('/'). NOTE: setting the domain to false will cause it to be filled with the default value. ---- Server IP: 203.202.10.60 Probable Submitter: 218.214.130.75 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/62369 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62369/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62369/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62369/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62369/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62369/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62369/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62369 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/62369 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
