Set cookies across the whole site

[jgd12345]

Sup, I was wondering how you make the cookies available across the whole site. I tried changing the last part of the setCookie to:

setcookie("xmbuser", $username, $currtime, "", ".punkcentre.com"
setcookie("xmbpw", $password, $currtime, "", ".punkcentre.com"

but it did not work.

If you goto

http://www.punkcentre.com/community_test.php

and login with the username bob and password bob you will notice that it works fine.

If you goto

http://www.punkcentre.com/community_test/test.php

then the cookies are displayed (the contents of this file is simply <? echo &quot;user: $xmbuser<b>pw: $xmbpw&quot;; ?>. I uploaded the same file to

http://www.punkcentre.com/test.php

but the cookies are not displayed, therefore they have not been set across the whole site.

If you know how todo this I'd be very greatful as it's very important for my site. Thanx

It's not the domain attribute of the cookie you need to set -- it's the path attribute you need to set.

In your invokation of setcookie(), set the patch attribute to &quot;/&quot;.
