How to set cookie scope in php?

In PHP, you can use the setcookie() function to set the scope of the cookie. The syntax is "setcookie(name, value, expire, path, domain, secure)". You can set the cookie scope by setting the value of the domain parameter,

When we set cookies for the website, did you find that these cookies were also received under other domain names of the website? These useless cookies may not seem to account for much traffic, but for a site with tens of millions of PV per day, the wasted resources are not a small amount. Therefore, when setting a cookie, its scope must be set accurately.

We all know that setcookie is used in PHP to set the cookie of the website. [Recommended related tutorials: "PHP Tutorial"]

The usage of this function is as follows :

setcookie(name,value,expire,path,domain,secure)

Today we will discuss its fifth parameter domain, because it determines the scope of the cookie.

Now there are the following 3 domain names, a top-level domain name, a second-level domain name and a third-level domain name:

① zydya.com

②blog.zyday.com

③one.blog.zyday.com

• First set cookies under the domain name ①zyday.com, do four tests, and set the domain parameters to empty and 'zyday.com' , 'blog.zyday.com' and 'one.blog.zyday.com'.

  √ indicates that the cookie can be obtained under the domain name, × indicates that the cookie cannot be obtained

## √ setcookie('name',1,time() 1,'/','zyday.com')√ √ √##setcookie('name',1,time() 1,'/','blog.zyday.com') 1,'/','one.blog.zyday.com')But when the domain parameter sets its subdomain name, all domain names cannot be received, including that subdomain name.

domain parameter	zydya.com	blog.zyday.com	one.blog.zyday.com
setcookie('name',1,time() 1)	√	## √
×	×	×	##setcookie('name',1,time()
×	×	##×	When domain is set to empty, domain defaults to the current domain name, and subdomains under this domain name can receive cookies.

Then set cookies under the ②blog.zyday.com domain name, the test conditions are the same as above

• ##domain parameters

zydya.com##blog.zyday.com√##√×√√×##×

##one.blog.zyday.com

setcookie('name',1,time() 1)

×

√

√

##setcookie('name',1,time() 1,'/','zyday.com')

√

setcookie( 'name',1,time() 1,'/','blog.zyday.com')

setcookie('name',1,time() 1,'/',one.blog.zyday.com')

##×

Look at the second line. The domain parameter is zyday.com, which is the parent domain name of blog.zyday.com. Then all subdomain names under zyday.com (including zyday.com, blog.zyday.com, one.blog.zyday .com) can receive cookies.

When the domain is its own domain name, its parent domain name is not affected, and it and its subdomain names can receive cookies.
When setting its subdomain name or other domain name, all domain names will not receive cookies.

• Finally set the cookie under the ③one.blog.zyday.com domain name

##domain parameterzydya.comblog.zyday.comsetcookie('name',1,time()##×√setcookie('name',1,time() 1,'/','zyday.com')√√√setcookie('name ',1,time() 1,'/','blog.zyday.com')×√√##setcookie('name',1,time() 1,'/',one.blog.zyday.com')The conclusions drawn from the third test have been summarized above. Read it again, not much explanation here.

			one.blog.zyday.com
1)	×
×	×	√

There are two points to note when setting domain:

1. If the domain parameter is omitted in setcookie, then domain defaults to the current domain name.

2. The domain parameter can set the parent domain name and itself, but cannot set other domain names, including subdomain names, otherwise the cookie will not work.

Then the scope of the cookie:

The scope of the cookie is the domain itself and all subdomain names under the domain.
