Is it possible to manually set multiple doamins for a cookie? I purchased the .net + .com domains for my site, and just as a backup I would like the user to retain ther cookie related prefs no matter what domain they do to. I have looked at some cookie specs; and all I have seen is info pertaining to subdomains.

I believe you can set the following...

Text Formatted Code
$_CONF['cookiedomain']=$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
 
-- destr0yr

wont $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]; just write the cookie depending on what domain they logged in at? in other words it is still doing the same thing. Unless i am mistaken? I want to know if I can specificy multiple domains for the cookie to be valid at. How do other websites with mutiple domains deal with this?

No. A cookie is only defined for exactly one domain.

bye, Dirk

Are you talking about using multiple domain names (site1.com, site2.com, etc.) with just one GL site, or are you talking about using multiple TLD's with one Sub Level Domain (site.com, site.net, site.biz)?

In both cases, if you are using only one GL site, you may set up redirects from all of your domain names to just one and deliver the cookie from that one.

If you are talking about multiple sites on multiple domains, then, as Dirk points out, you are out of luck.

Yes, multiple Top Level Domains (.net .com) with one sublevel. Only one geeklog. Currently my setup is domain.net is parked on domain.com, not redirect. Perhaps the redirect approach may work better. Thank for the suggestion.
