Accessing cookies from different domains

a sub domains/same IP or differen FQDN ?

for security reasons, your browser won’t let you read other domain’s cookies, only work around would be a third-party cookie,

for sub domains see  setcookie

setcookie(Name,Value,Expire,Path,domain)

 

If set to '/', the cookie will be available within the entire domain. If set to '/foo/', the cookie  will only be available within the /foo/ directory and all sub-directories such as /foo/bar/ of domain. The default value is the current directory that the cookie is being set in.

 

To make the cookie available on all subdomains of example.com then you'd set it to '.example.com'. The . is not required but makes it compatible with more browsers. Setting it to www.example.com will make the cookie only available in the www subdomain.

Its a different domain.

Ex:

domainA.com

domainB.com

 

I have them on the same server, so the IP is the same. I even tried setting up apache to put domainB's contents as a folder within domainA. So, for example, domainA's contents is in:

 

/public/domainA

 

Then I put domainB's contents in:

 

/public/domainA/domainB

 

However when I set the cookiepath to '/' on domainB.com, it doesnt seem to register on domainA.com

 

Any other ideas?

 

Thanks!
