How can I pass cookie from one page to another which the two pages are not in the same directory?

I have one server but two directories for example:

  • www
    • Directory1
      • index.php
      • page1.php
      • page2.php
    • Directory2
      • index.php
      • page3.php
      • page4.php

When I want to transfer from the page index.php of Directory1 to the page index.php of Directory2, how can I pass the cookies set in the page index.php of Directory1 using PHP?

Just don't set the optional Path parameter, and then it is available to both directories.

according to PHP documentation

The path on the server in which the cookie will be available on. If set to '/', the cookie will be available within the entire domain. If set to '/foo/', the cookie will only be available within the /foo/ directory and all sub-directories such as /foo/bar/ of domain. The default value is the current directory that the cookie is being set in.

$time = time() + 3600;
setcookie('foo', 'bar', $time, "/");

when you set the fourth parameter i.e path as /, it will be accessible to you on the domain level, and i guess that is what you need.

Use the path parameter:

setcookie("name", "value", time() + 3600, "/");
