php cookies

I 've posted a question about creating browser specific cookies.but no replies so far. I need it very urgently.Can anyone help me on this.

My situation is : I want to create a cookie on the client's browser and it will be there until the browser is closed.I 've tried it using a setcookie function without specifying the path.

setcookie('mycookie',$value,time()+3600);

I am getting this cookie value inside all the pages of my web site.I have certain links in a particular page of my web site.When a user clicks on any one of the link that will take them to a different site in a new window. Here inside this i am trying to check that cookie 'mycookie'. But the cookie value does n't exist here.

Can anyone help me on this please.

thanks

Thanks for your reply. But my situation is bit different.
I 've created two different cookies for my needs.
setcookie('firstcookie',$value1); // I just use this only for the browser session.If the browser is closed this is
no longer available.
The second cookie is created with expiry time
setcookie('secondcookie',$value2,time()+3600); // This cookie exist only on the folder from where it was created
setcookie('secondcookie',$value2,time()+3600,"/"); // Here i am able get the cookie from all the folders(inside www.mydomain.com)

What i am trying to achieve is create a (browser specific)cookie in my client browser. i want to check this cookie
across many different domains(from different servers).

I know if we create a cookie on one domain we can use it on all other sub domains on the same web server.
That is for www.first.mydomain.com, www.second.mydomain.com...etc. But it's not possible to get this cookie inside www.mynewdomain.com.

so that's why i am trying to create a cookie a browser specific one and use across many domains.Is it possible to achive this.Please suggest me if i am totally wrong in my approach.If so suggest me a way to do this.

Thanks
