Note Submitter: jah ---- As <info at daniel-marschall dot de> points out, firefox will prepend a period (full-stop) to the domain value if the period is not already present. This is because firefox expects the domain parameter value, if present, to be a domain name and not a host name. So using setcookie() with a domain value of www.example.com is not correct if www is a host name. If you want to restrict the cookie to a single host, supply the domain parameter as an empty string, for example (note the rightmost parameter): <?php setcookie("TestCookie", "SomeValue", time()+3600, "/~rasmus/", ""); ?>
