Re: [PHP] Multiple Domains in cookie?
Is this because you have domain aliases?

Re: [PHP] Multiple Domains in cookie?
GREAT Q! I have been trying to play with my cookies for a while now for this same reason.. And to no avail.. It seems due to the structure of them and as long as the client (browser) sticks to the specifications you can only access a cookie belonging to that same host.. For example, I am starting up a large network site base but I wanted all the sites even though they have their own unique domain to be able to have a global member login system.. Catch is.. The only way for them to be able to login to one site and then be able to freely go to another completely diff. site also on our network they would still be logged in and hence they have this main ONE account that allows them access to all our network sites.. So I studied the workings behind Terra Lycos and found their trick quite easily.. Since they have basically this same concept they too had to find a solution.. And their's is very close to mine :) I had thought.. since it's HOST specific. Not the full domain.. that means that cookies only differentiate between: aaa.com and bbb.com.. But not: one.aaa.com or two.aaa.com Therefore to create ONE cookie you set it's host for aaa.com and that way all your other site domains can be redirectors to the subdomain.. Ie.. if you have aaa.com as your main site and bbb.com and ccc.com just make those other two point to: bbb.aaa.com and ccc.aaa.com respectively.. Don't think it's unpro because that's exactly what Terra Lycos does.. For eg.. Checkout www.webmonkey.com (I'm sure many of you already know it) you soon see you'll be transported to: www.hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey This is because not only is webmonkey part of Terra lycos.. It's also under HotWired.. Then I thought.. No way.. that can't be their trick surely?? Yep.. Checkout all their other sites.. More examples: www.angelfire.com goes to angelfire.lycos.com and tripod.com goes to tripod.lycos.com it seems this is the idea.. that way.. if they login.. just set some details (perhaps the SESSID so you can easily jsut reload the session on the other sites) on for example lycos.com as the domain and then all the subdomains can also use this freely.. Use your domains as redirectors and you get a sweet system.. :) HIH --oOo---oOo-- Julien Bonastre [The_RadiX] The-Spectrum Network CEO [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.the-spectrum.org --oOo---oOo-- - Original Message - From: Tony Harrison [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 7:25 PM Subject: [PHP] Multiple Domains in cookie?

Re: [PHP] Multiple Domains in cookie?
Nope, but you can have more than one host per domain (foo.php.net, bar.php.net, etc.). Tony Harrison wrote: Is it possible to specify more than 1 domain in a cookie? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Multiple Domains in cookie?
or you just have something like login.myhost.com and all your sites use that to authenticate the user. In your php login script you can just see which site they came back from and then on a successful login you just redirect them back to that one. You wouldn't need to use cookies. You could make your own session ID. I thik owning say subdomain.mydomain.com and having it point to www.asite.com/mydomain/subdomain doesn't look as good. The PHP needed to do something like this would be fairly simple too. -Original Message- From: Julien Bonastre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 8:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Tony Harrison Subject: Re: [PHP] Multiple Domains in cookie?
