cookies

[stew]

hey there guys...

i have set the following cookie

$val = $login . '&&' . $pass;
$epxr = time()+3600;
$that = setcookie("biffy", $val, $expr, "/");

obviously i would like the cookie to be 'available' throughout the entire domain hence the "/".

the cookie is being set in the directory domain.com/v3/here, but for some reason when i check to see if the cookie is set domain.com/v3/community/here it would seem as if the cookie hasn't been set.

anyone have any ideas?

Try setting the domain as well

$that = setcookie("biffy", $val, $expr, "/", ".domain.com");

See the setcookie(); command in the manual for more details

nope that didn't work...

i seem to have another problem which if i solves will probably do the cookie one too...

i have the following file mydomain.com/v3/index.php

include("../common.php");  // contains all db connecting scripts etc...
include("../left.php");

// lots of other sql statements that work fine, that are reliant upon the common.php file

in this case it is the left.php file that isn't reading the afore mentioned cookie and also isn't connecting to the database..

however, if i call left.php individually then it works fine!

hopefully this will clarify a few things.
