[PHP] Re: Setting cookies for other domains
Scott Haneda [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Cross domain cookies are indeed possible, look at microsoft.com, msn.com and msnbc.com which indeed do share your cookies from one site to the next, however, they do it by redirects and get/post methods, which is perfectly legit since they control those domains. No one outside someone with access to those servers could implement it. I might be wrong on this analysis, but here is how I think the MSN thing works - When you go to hotmail.com, it redirects you to login.passport.com - If you do not have your cookie (from the passport.com domain), which identifies you as a valid MSN network user, you are asked to sign in. After successful sign on, your browser gets a passport cookie. - The passport now redirects you to the hotmail.com and it passes your user information using the url. I think it passes some sort of session id. Since in the background, passport and hotmail share the same database, hotmail can check on a user's authentication based on the session id passed in the URL. - The same thing happens when you go to msnbc.com. You are first redirected to passport.com and your passport.com's cookie is examined. Thus, even though you think that msn, hotmail and msnbc are sharing the same cookie, they are not. It is the passport.com that is doing the dirty work of setting and examining the cookie. -- Raj Shekhar Y! : Operations Engineer MySQL DBA, programmer and slacker Y!IM : lunatech3007 home : http://rajshekhar.net blog : http://rajshekhar.net/blog/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi!
Cookies makes me go AGHH!!
Please help me with this:
I am setting a cookie like this in my loginscript:
setcookie(devProcCookie, cookie value.|.time(), 31536000); // Set
cookie
header(Location: inside.php);
exit;
So far it works!
But when I go to the inside.php page that looks like this:
$cookie_life = 30;
// The cookie lives for 1 hour
$tok = explode(|, $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[devProcCookie]);
$cookie_value = $tok[0];
$creation_time = $tok[1];
if((time()-$creation_time) $cookie_life)
// If time expires go to cookie_expired.php
{
// cookie has expired so delete it.
setcookie(devProcCookie, );
header (Location: cookie_expired.php);
exit;
}
setcookie(devProcCookie, cookie value.|.time(), 31536000); // If
time hasnt expired update the cookie time
Something happens in netscape. Everything works fine in IExplorer.
Netscape says:
Notice: Undefined index: devProcCookie in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\devproc\beta\inside.php on line 2

As opposed to using the Cookies Array HTTP_COOKIES_VAR
could you not just use explode the $devProcCookie using
if (isset($devProcCookie)){
$tok = explode(|, $devProcCookie);
}
//Note this will only work if the global variables in your php.ini files
are turned on...
I have no idea why it can't read the index $devProcCookie in the
Cookies Array if you figure it out though please post up...

Another thing! when I look in netscape/preferences/privacysecurity/cookies/view Stored Cookies.. there is no cookie for my website.. isnt that strange? /Martin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Setting Cookies in netscape and explorer?
Yes!!! I got it to work! The problem was the expirationdate in the cookie: setcookie(devProcTailorCookie, cookie value.|.time(), 31536000); Now I set it like this: setcookie(devProcTailorCookie, cookie value.|.time(), time()+10); But now it doesnt work in explorer. But I would be able to fix that. Thanks /Martin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hey all, I am having some troubles setting cookies at the moment wondering if anyone knows the solution. Anyhow basically what is happening, is that cookies are been set fine, however say I try to set two cookies in the one script i.e. setcookie(username, $HTTP_POST_VARS['username'], time()+31536000); setcookie(password, $HTTP_POST_VARS['password'], time()+31536000); only the cookie that was called last, i.e. 'password' will be set. I only started noticing this problem since I installed php4.2 and apache2.0, is that the cause? Has anyone shared a similar experience, and if so is there a fix? Thanks for your time as always.

[PHP] Re: Setting Cookies
You are getting that error because you have sent output to the browser BEFORE you try to set the cookie information. When dealing with cookies, it is important to do all processing before sending any output to the browser.

I receive the following error: Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (reference to current page)... At this point I have authenticated the user, and am trying to set the cookie before redirecting them to the registered users section. Should I be setting the cookie on the top of the page that I am sending them to? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
