Help with setcookie() and "stealth" domain forwarding

shawjames

I cannot get setcookie() to work with the way my domain is setup. My domain forwards to a subdomain of another domain.

The problem is the way I have the forward setup, using "stealth" URL forwarding, it only shows "www.mydomain.com" as the URL.

With it setup this way, I cannot get setcookie() to work.

I do not want it to display "mydomain.host.com" in the URL, I want to have it as www.mydomain.com

Any work arounds?

Cheers!

So how are you using setcookie?

[man]setcookie[/man]
To make the cookie available on all subdomains of example.com then you'd set it to '.example.com'. The . is not required but makes it compatible with more browsers. Setting it to www.example.com will make the cookie only available in the www subdomain. Refer to tail matching in the spec for details.

I have tried all of these, none of them seem to work...

setcookie("cookie", $value, 0, "/", ".myhost.com");
setcookie("cookie", $value, 0, "/", ".mydomain.com");
setcookie("cookie", $value, 0, "/", "mydomain.myhost.com");
setcookie("cookie", $value, 0, "/", "www.mydomain.com");
setcookie("cookie", $value);

Does anyone know how "Stealth" domain forwarding works?
