[RESOLVED] Cookies & Multiple Sites on Same Domain

[sois]

Hi, I have two sites running on my domain. One is /tpc/ and one is /rball/. I use the same cookie name (stupidly) for both sites. I thought you could specify the parameter for subdomain/folder exclusivity.

I have this:
setcookie("user", "$_POST[user]", time()+606024*360, "/rball/", "www.test.com") or die("Could not set cookie");

But it reads the cookies in the /tpc/ directory. Why is this? Shouldn't the 4th parameter of setcookie() address this?

If you're using sub-domains, the I reacon you should not put the www in the domain name (4th param).

just use 'test.com'

Or just use different cookie names.

Also, you don't need the " " around the variable:

setcookie("user", "$_POST[user]", time()+60*60*24*360, "/rball/", "www.test.com") or die("Could not set cookie");

Do this:

setcookie("user", $_POST['user'], time()+60*60*24*360, "/rball/", 'test.com') or die("Could not set cookie");

Thanks guys, but these suggestions still have not solved the issue. My $_SESSION['user'] variable is still shared on both subfolders.

Any other ideas? I know changing the cookie name from user would be the best idea but I would have to go through all my pages and check to see if I used it ever.
