Setting cookies for multiple sub-domains

问题:

Is it possible to set a cookie for http://www.example.com from a PHP file located at https://secure.example.com? I have some code that was given to me, that appears to try and fails at this. I was wondering if this is possible at all.

回答1:

Webpages can only set cookies for the second (or higher) level domain that they belong to.

This means that secure.example.com can read and set cookies for secure.example.com or .example.com, the latter of which can also be read and set by www.example.com

One last note: If the secure flag is set on a cookie, it can only be read and set over an https connection.

回答2:

If you set the cookie domain to ".example.com", the cookie will work for all subdomains.
