Cookie help

[seno]

Can someone tell me why when i set a coookie with path "/", it is retrievable within the web directory /var/www/html/......, and not in /usr/share/...... for example.

I have tried using the path /usr/share/... and that doesn't work as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Seno.

Can you show your code. Also how its been accessed in /usr/share

Ok then,
to set the cookie in directory /var/www/html:

$time = time(); 
$name = md5($_POST['name']); 
$pass =md5($_POST['pass']); 
$check = $_POST['set']; 
$path="/";
$query = "select * from table where Username='$name' and Password='$pass'";   
$sql = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); 
 while ($res = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
$name=$res['FullName'];
$eid=$res['id'];}

$cookie_data = $name.'-'.$eid;

$cook = setcookie ("cookie_info",$cookie_data, $time+3600, $path);

And to retrieve (check if its set) the cookie in directory /usr/share:

if (isset($_COOKIE['cookie_info'])){

$cooks="COOKIE"; }

else {
$cooks="No Cookie";
}
echo $cooks;

If i run this in the /usr/share directory the echo is "No Cookie" and in the /var/www/html the echo is "COOKIE".
