I’m faced with the cookie problem.  
we’re using setcookie() on the domain [www.example.com](http://www.example.com)  
but in fact I need to setup cookies for [example.com](http://example.com) domain.  
so, I use the following syntax (due to php manual):  
setcookie(‘surferid’, 10, 0, ‘/’, ‘.example.com’);  
This way we hope to set cookies for all [example.com](http://example.com) subdomains.  
But anyway I can’t read cookie.

setcookie(‘surferid’, ‘10’, time()+0,’/’,‘[host.com](http://host.com)’);

than u will need a refresh of page inorder to be able to do this

```php

echo $_COOKIE['surferid'];

```
