make cookies available throughout the entire site

[Anon]

I'm using the following code to set a cookie:
setcookie("ID","myname",time()[phone],"","mydomain.com")
I set this cookie from mydomain.com/cons/
The cookie is not available to scripts in the root of the site mydomain.com.

Is there a limitation so that if you set a cookie in a sub-folder, it won't be available in other folders?

Thanks for your help

What directory you are in shouldn't matter; this is (supposed to be)
controlled solely by the <b>domain</b> and <b>path</b> arguments
to setcookie().

Yes there is.
This is done for websites that reside in a subdirectory and share a domain name.

Not if you don't put the subdirectory into the 'path'
argument of setcookie() there isn't.

I am having the same problem. If I create a cookie in a sub directory then I can't access it from others.

I also tried to make the cookie in the root directory hoping that it would be available to all directories below. This didnt work either.

Anyone know a work around so that a cookie is available through the entire site?
