cookie reading

Hi

I wanted to see if cookie is set or not...

For example i have site example.com and there is directory named member in it

i set a cookie in that directory i.e. example.com/cookie

can i read and/or access that cookie value from example.com ?

if i can please tell me how...

my domain name:
example.com
i set a cookie at:
example.com/member

and now i wanted to read it from example.com

 

You would need to set the path parameter of setcookie (http://php.net/setcookie) to '/' and then you'll be able to access it from your root as well.

So:

setcookie('key', 'value', 0, '/');

 

thank you but i wanted to know that i am at example.com and cookie is at example.com/members

is there any way i can access it form example.com

thank you

 

Yes... if you write it as I said in /members.. Otherwise, no.

 

urrently i am at example.com/members

I set a cookie "test_cookie"

I can access it here but i wanted to access it when i go back to example.com

I tired it this way:

<?PHP
 print_r($_COOKIE);
?>

Code (markup):

but it's not showing my anything

but when i go to example.com/members and use same code i get value

 

use path / and domain .example.com (attention to the point). now you can access the cookie on the complete website including subdomains and folders. but you need to delete your cookies first, as it is not possible in all browsers to set a cookie with the same name with a different path and/or domain.

php.net:

 

Set the cookie like I told you.. Do that code on /members. Then access it via the $_COOKIE array on your root.
