Problems with images setting cookies in a different domain

[guarriman]

Hi.

I want to set two cookies to user's web-browser in foo2.com but when user visits foo1.com. Very similiar to the system used by web statistics.

I use (within 'http://www.foo1.com/page.html'):

<img src="http://www.foo2.com/image.php" />

And 'www.foo2.com/image.php' sets the two cookies.

It works ok on Firefox on Linux, but doesn't work with Firefox on MS Windows and IExplorer. Any similar experience? Thank you very much.

Code I use within 'www.foo2.com/image.php':

if (!session_is_registered("user_email")) session_register("user_email");
if (!session_is_registered("user_pass")) session_register("user_pass");
$_SESSION['user_email'] = $email;
$_SESSION['user_pass'] = $hashedpw;
setcookie( 'email_cookie_stored', $email, time() + 31536000, "/");
setcookie( 'pass_cookie_stored', $hashedpw, time() + 31536000, "/");

You have to set the next parameter after path of a cookie, i.e. cookie domain (as you try to set a cookie in a different domain) see [man]setcookie[/man]

I use now:

setcookie( 'email_cookie_stored', $email, time() + 31536000, "/", "www.foo2.com");
setcookie( 'pass_cookie_stored', $hashedpw, time() + 31536000, "/", "www.foo2.com");

works on Firefox, won't work in IExplorer 🙁
