Changing cookie path....

[nickW+]

Hello All,

So this might be a dumb question but i'm curious as to what the side
effect will be.

I noticed that I was creating the cookies as "sitename.com" where all
the major site cookies on my computer are ".theirsite.com" so I
changed mine to ".sitename.com".

This is currently only in the staging environment but i'm curious if
this will cause any problems with user logins etc? Would it be wise /
necessary to create a function that "converts" the cookie to the new
".sitename.com" cookie path?

Basically expire all existing cookies with the old path and move them
to the new path?

No, you don't need to convert. They'll expire on their own after due time.

What if their "login" information is saved there? Like a login token
and user? Will PHP still pickup the old path for the cookie?

Have you tried it in your development environment yet, to see for yourself what will happen? ;)

Sometimes I wish email had a "promote" or upvote feature :)

Cool, I guess I'll have to try it, just figured someone here would
have had experience with this :)
