along with domains, cookies respect directories.
for example:
i'd have a script in '/somewhere'
and another script in '/another'
and when they'd try to use the same cookies,
it wouldnt work...
i had to actually specify a path of '/' for
both of them to be able to use the same cookies.

This is actually a security feature of cookies, so that domains that
dont match your cookie cannot read personal details set by another
site. Don't worry, its all in order ;)

Subject: [PHP] SetCookie weirdness
Hi!
Last night I've found some interesting cookie behavior. I was testing
some script on my local server, so I used short version of domain (
http://www ) to reach local webserver. My script stopped working, so I
started to investigate a little bit what's goin on..
I've managed to get my script working only when i user SetCookie command
with only 3 parameters:
SetCookie (mycookie, $cookie, time()+1200);
My usual form of setting cookie is with all 6 arguments like:
SetCookie(mycookie, $cookie, time()+1200, /, .domain.com, 0);
But if I use longer form if domain: www.local (same as
www.somedomaing.com) my longer form of setting cookie started to work
again.
Weird.
Anyone experianced similar problems?
