[PHP] cookie paths are really confusing me...please help!
ok here's what i get from php.net: SetCookie()'s behavior is dependant on where it is called within the web document tree. For example, setting a cookie from a php script in a directory makes that cookie available only to other scripts in that directory and its subdirectories. However, setting a cookie of the same name from a script in the directory's parent directory will override all cookies of that name in the parent directory's subdirectories. scenario: im browsing a file in lets call directory 'test'. this file is including a file in the parent directory. this included file is setting a cookie. the problem is when i goto directory 'test2' and use this same included file in the parent directory, it cant find the cookie. how should be setting this cookie?? - Noah -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] cookie paths are really confusing me...please help!
scenario: im browsing a file in lets call directory 'test'. this file is including a file in the parent directory. this included file is setting a cookie. The point here is that the file is being *included*, therefore the cookie will only be local to that "test" directory, regardless of where the file that sets the cookie lives. the problem is when i goto directory 'test2' and use this same included file in the parent directory, it cant find the cookie. how should be setting this cookie?? I mainly set my cookies with a path of "/". Saves hassles, and the cookie is accessible everywhere.
