Multiple Domain Cookies

[CTM]

Is it possible to set my cookies for multiple domains? Or would I have to custom script that?

E.g. :

I have domain1.com and domain2.com

I want it so when you do www.domain1.com/forums/ it uses the same cookies as www.domain2.com/forums/ ( domain1 being an parked domain )

Hey CTM. I'd like to know the very same thing. I am trying to "split" my vBulletin forums so that a couple of categories are under one domain and a couple of categories are listed under another. Although I've seen several discussions related to this here, there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer.

Anyone have any ideas?

Nope, cookies are domain specific

OK, so is there a way to accomplish the following:

www.domain1.com/forum1
www.domain2.com/forum2

User logs into forum1 and does not need to have a separate user account to log in to forum2.

Ideally, this would be seamless in the sense that a user logged in to one set of forums would not need to "re-log-in" to the other set of forums. However, I'm cool with it being a bit of a hassle as long as they don't actually have to have separate user accounts.

Any ideas?

Since the login is cookie based, this will not (without some major modification) work either IMHO.

But maybe someone got a briljant idea.

I'm trying to do something very similar. My plan is to use a script to grab the login info, and pass it to the other site and use a script there to autolog them in. You can get some measure of security by encrypting the header info that's passed and having the 2nd site only accept a link from the first.

HOWEVER, I'm having one strange problem. With Certain mac users, I can't grab their user info. I've tried to grab both the userid var and the cookie for bbuserid

Here's a test script I'm using.

<?php
$bbuserid = intval($_COOKIE[bbuserid]);
echo "bbuid is ";
echo $bbuserid;
$userid=$userid;
echo "uid= ";
echo $userid
?>

I put this script in the BBS directory and made it accessible from a link in a post. For most users it properly displays their id. But from some, even though they are logged in and have cookies enabled, it gives null values.

What am I doing wrong?

No idea. I was asking if anyone could do it
