Very very strange problem with setcookie()

Hello,

Could someone, please, help me?

I am trying to set cookie in a folder to be available to that folder and ALL subfolders, but it doesn't work and nothing helps, I tried a lot of variations. Here is what documentation says should work for me:

$_COOKIE['signed_in'] = true;
setcookie("signed_in", $_COOKIE['signed_in'], 0, '/WEB/portal/', 'localhost');

PHP:

But when I set this cookie from http://localhost/WEB/portal/ it isn't set at all - when I reload the page it disappears. When I use the following code, the cookie is set in current folder ONLY, and doesn't work for neither parent folders nor subfolders:

$_COOKIE['signed_in'] = true;
setcookie("signed_in", $_COOKIE['signed_in'], 0);

PHP:

Please, help me.. I need my cookie work both in http://localhost/WEB/portal/ and http://localhost/WEB/portal/tags/computers/ and so similar.

 

Also, forgot to say the following code also doesn't set a cookie at all (I mean I can't see it from the script):

$_COOKIE['signed_in'] = true;
setcookie("signed_in", $_COOKIE['signed_in'], 0, '/', 'localhost');

PHP:

while it should work for all the domain, it doesn't, and that is veery strange.

 

any ideas?

 

Instead of $_COOKIE['signed_in'] = true;

Can you please try $_COOKIE['signed_in'] = "yes"; and if it sets the cookie

 

does your browser accept cookies?
