BASIC COOKIE QUESTION

[kool_samule]

Hi Chaps,

 

I'm having trouble setting a cookie.

 

The login.php file is in a directory called 'account'

 

The cookie name in Termporary Internet Files shows as:

'account/'

instead of the standard

'cookie:[email protected]'.

 

This results in the cookie being read by files with the 'account' directory.

 

I've searched around played around the the $path and $domain variables, but they don't seem to do anything.

 

Although the PHP code looks like this:

setcookie($name, $value, $hour);

 

The cookie looks like this:

$name, $value, $path, $time

 

Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong with this?

Why do you want a separate cookie in the /account/ section? Why not just use:

 

$_SESSION['account']

 

for the /account/ section and $_SESSION[..] for whatever other section?
