session cookie setting only for host instead of domain

[Bill Seitz]

I'm trying to set a cookie to apply over all hosts in my domain.

I have a settings file setting
$domain ="quietcare.inf o";
$cookieDomain = ".".$domain ;

Then I use that $cookieDomain as an argument in my set-cookie command.

But it doesn't seem to be working. My browser still shows the
cookie-set request as being just for the host, not for the domain. And
when I go to another server in my domain and look at the full request,
I don't see that cookie value as set.

What am I missing?

Does the domain arg only apply to stored cookies? (I read that in an
ASP document, it seemed horribly stupid, but still...) (My servers run
Linux.)

Thanks.

as a bit of further detail, I set the cookie with
setcookie('cook ie_email',$p_em ail,0,'/',$cookieDomain );

Further detail to?

I was quite curious about this after only seeing this post as
something I've looked at recently (had some issues with actually).. but
now I have no idea what you're referring to, because you're replying to
something but not quoting _anything_.

Snipping is great, but don't get too hasty with it that it makes the
thread then unfollowable.
