session cookie doesn't work!

I'm new here so first I'll say hello.

Hello!

Now, I've got trouble with a cookie on my page that gets setup when my user logs into my site.  The cookie only works in my /login/ directory and not everywhere on my website. 

I set up my cookie using this:

setcookie("username2", $username);

And I looked in the php manual and it says i need to specify the directory and domain, so i tried

setcookie("username2", $username, '/', 'mywebsite.com');

but that isn't working at all now.

Can someone give me the right code to use to make the cookie work on my whole website?

Re: session cookie doesn't work!

Hi, Try to use the following:

setcookie("username2", $username, 360000000, '/', 'mywebsite.com');

where 360000000 is expiration time for this cookie in seconds.

Thanks
