[SOLVED] A little Cookie problem

[npsari]

Hi there,

 

I set up a php page which has this little code

 

<?php 
setcookie("try", "Me Try", time()+3600);
?>

 

then, when i try to read it from any other directory, i cant

<?
echo "Welcome " . $_COOKIE["try"] . "!";
?>

 

I only can read it if i upload the script in the same directory where the cookie was set

 

How can i make a cookie, where all pages can read it, is that possible

first.. read a little on http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

 

second change

setcookie("try", "Me Try", time()+3600);

TO

setcookie("try", "Me Try", time()+3600, "/", YOURDOMAIN);
[code]

[/code]

I was reading, and did not manage to find this little info yet

 

so, it should be like that?

 

setcookie("try", "Me Try", time()+3600, "/", http://www.example.com);

 

cus iam getting erros

[Branden Wagner]

it should be just example.com not http://www.example.com

[npsari]

ohh, nice, i try it now

 

Just a little extra question

 

setcookie("try", "Me Try", time()+3600, "example.com");

 

the above cookie expires in 1 day i think

what if i want to make it 1 week

 

Can you tell me what to use

 

[Branden Wagner]

obviously you didnt read: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

 

3600 is 1 hour in seconds...

 

so your answer is time()+ {1 week in seconds}
