Cookie problem..

[lordgreg]

Here is the point:

I created a cookie in root/dir/file.php with function setcookie("user",$name,(time() + (3600 24 365 * 10)),"/");

the cookie $user should last for ten years from time() on if I'm right. But..

I created it yesterday, today I want to test my script with cookies again and it didn't work (!$user)..

Questions:
1. Has anyone any idea what is wrong?
2. What if I want to use that cookie in root dir, but the cookie was created in root/dir/?

Thank you for your answers..

Make sure you have not changed the domain -- by omitting "www" from the url, for example.

The "/" argument in your setcookie() call should make your cookie available to any uri within the domain in which it is set.
