Cookies?

[lukemedway]

I made a login script in which verifies the user etc, but the problem is, the login script is in another directory to the main site.

what i need to know is, how can I make a cookie has a global scope over the directory before or across the whole domain?

If you read cookies more you can actually put the domain in where you want the cookie stored. So
like this

boolean setcookie ( string name [, string value [, int expire [, string path [, string domain [, int secure]]]]])

an example

setcookie ("TestCookie", $value,time()+3600, "/~rasmus/", ".utoronto.ca", 1);
