I recently received a note from a user of my PHP website saying that they came to my page and received no content. After investigating the problem, I found that another site (doubleclick.net to be specific) had set a cookie with the same name as a variable (id) that my script uses to determine which output to display. So, since the contents of this cookie were not recognized by my script, nothing was displayed. My question is, how could this happen?? I was under the impression that cookies were linked to a specific domain, therefore cookies from another site could not interfere with my site. We deleted the cookies from her computer and it is working again for now, but if it can happen to her it can happen to anyone. Any explanations on how this cookie was read by my PHP script would be appreciated... I know I can always tell PHP to not put cookie data into the variable, but I shouldn't have to do that.
