Question

I am facing a another problem. I built a project in php. the url is like ‘www.mysite.com’
I create a cookie using setcookie() method in example1.php page which is under root directory and the path of the page is … www.mysite.com/in/example1.php

Now i want to retrieve the value of the cookie in the page ‘indix.php’ whose url is www.mysite.com/index.php that is outside the folder ‘in’.

But the cookie is not found in this index.php page.
i use print_r() but no cookie found.

What the wrong i have done? Please help me.

Scope of cookie is 4th variable (the “path”) – defaults to current path. Sounds like you need to set it to server root directory, or ‘/’.

setcookie('mycookie', 'myvalue', 0, '/');
