I just discovered a problem:
netscape states in http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/js/client/jsguide/cookies.htm
that cookie names may:
name=value is a sequence of characters excluding semicolon, comma and white space. To place
restricted characters in
the name or value, use an encoding method such as URL-style %XX encoding.
I tried using setcookie("my.domain.de",...); but I could not read my cookie.
reading all cookies, the $HTTP_COOKIE_VAR array showed an entry "my_domain_de". seemes
that "." are not allowed.
Of course You knew, I didn't.
