Chrome ignoring cross-domain cookie expiration

On domain 1, I have a form that posts to domain 2

<form method="post" action="http://domain2.com/result.php">

The script result.php on domain 2 sets a cookie on domain 2 that is supposed to last until the year 2038.

setcookie('test', 'val', 2147485540, '/', '.domain2.com', false);

The cookie is being stored, but on Chrome, the expiration is set to "When I close my browser" (in other words, 0). On Firefox the expiration is set correctly.

Is there any way around this or is this a Chrome security setting regarding cross-domain posting that I'll just have to live with?

It has to do with the expiration, not the domain. You are using 2147485540 which is equivalent to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:45:40 Some browsers have trouble with dates beyond 03:14:07 UTC on Tuesday, 19 January 2038.

This will work:

setcookie('test', 'val', gmmktime(3, 14, 7, 1, 19, 2038), '/', '.domain2.com', false);

This won't:

setcookie('test', 'val', gmmktime(3, 14, 8, 1, 19, 2038), '/', '.domain2.com', false);
