cookies are determined only on the pages where they were set

I have a big website using mvc pattern, it's a little bit hard to give details with links and stuff, but I want to ask a simple question.

When I set cookies like this setcookie("countviews_interview_downloads_1",'1',$this->registry->config['countviews_cookie_lifetime']);

And then check like this:

if (isset($_COOKIE['countviews_interview_downloads_1']))
{
  print('msg: cookie is on interview #1');
  exit;
}

A message appears that msg: cookie is on interview #1 only on the page where it has been set.

If I put this above code that checks for cookie on anyther page it does not appear, behaves like it has never been set.

Help me out please. THANKS!.

If you don’t specify any path for the cookie, a cookie is only valid for the same path. In your case that will be /interview/christmas/countdownloads. So just set the cookie’s path to / and it will be present for all other paths:

setcookie("countviews_interview_downloads_1",'1',$this->registry->config['countviews_cookie_lifetime'], '/')
