Cookie in frame

[Super Mango]

Hi,

I have this login that works fine when the page is presented as-is, but
I want to allow other site owner to put any page from my site in a
frame in their own site.

The thing is that when the page is called from a different domain, the
cookie is not sent to the server.

What can I do?

Thanks,

[Erwin Moller]

Nothing simple.
Cookies are NOT send crossdomain.
Think about it when that was possible:
1) Every visit to any site would include your WHOLE set cookies. A waste of
bandwidth
2) sucurity. If ANY site could retrieve all your cookies, then they could
easily hijack your current session to somewhere.
You don't want that.

So: If you want to propagate your cookie to another domain, send it yourself
explicitly.
like (GET):

http://www.otherdomain.com/somescript.php?cookievaluePHPSESSID=sdjkhfjksdahfjkasdhf

(or via POST)

I am not sure what the other site wants to do with the cookie, but that is
the way to send it.
