New Comment:
Some browsers reject cookies with a domain specified due to some
mismatches between the domain & the actual server. Are you absolutely
certain that you are setting the correct domain?
You should also check if the cookie is being sent, if it is, then it's
not a php issue.

I have tried both. I should have mentioned this in the previous
submission, sorry.

Try removing the prepended dot in the domain:
$cookie_domain = 'my.sub.domain';

Description:
------------
I have a small app in which I would like to use sessions, no different
than many others I have written in the past. However, on this one I
would like to set the cookie domain to a domain as opposed to a host.
However, when I do so, it seems to not work in Mozilla and IE (it does
however work in konqueror). I have tried setting the cookie_domain
through ini_set and through session_set_cookie_params and through
setcookie, all with the same result. If I don't set the domain, the
cookie works fine (although only for that host of course). I have
searched high and low for an answer to this but have been unable to
turn up anything.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$cookie_domain = '.my.sub.domain';
// Set session parameters and start session
ini_alter("session.gc_maxlifetime", "172800");
ini_alter( "session.entropy_file","/dev/random");
ini_alter( "session.entropy_length","512");
ini_set( "session.name",$session_name);
ini_set( "session.cookie_domain", $cookie_domain);
session_start();
Expected result:
----------------
I expect that the cookie will be set on the browser. It does get set
in konqueror, but not in any other browser that I have access to
(mozilla running in both linux and windows, and ie)
Actual result:
--------------
It never appears when I try to set the cookie_domain. If I don't set
it, the cookie appears normally. Additionally, I can turn on the
feature in mozilla to ask whether or not to accept each cookie it
receives, I never even get the question when the domain is set. Note
that the behavior is the same if I set the cookie_domain to the
hostname as well.
