I have two servers, 'www.domain.local' and 'api.domain.local'. I want to set a cookie in a script on the api server that is called from the www. Chrome does not let me do that (didn't try other browsers yet)
my PHP code:
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin:*");
echo json_encode(array("cookie"=>print_r($_COOKIE,true)));
setcookie("test","ok",time()+24000*3600,"/",".domain.local");
in my jQuery:
$.getJSON("http://api.domain.local/test.php",{
command:"setcookie"
},function(fb){
alert(fb.cookie);
});
The PHP is first returning the cookies it has, the first run this should be zero, and it is. In the header of the PHP script I see the following:
Set-Cookie:test=ok; expires=Tue, 27-Oct-2015 22:52:52 GMT; path=/; domain=.domain.local X-Powered-By:PHP/5.3.14
Which is what I expect. But the cookie isn't set. When I run the jQuery again I am expecting the cookie to be set (get an alert with the print_r of $_COOKIE), but I get nothing. One thing I noticed in the 'cookies' tab of the network resources in the debug part of Chrome is that the expiry was set as "Invalid Date". If I run the PHP script directly I don't have this problem though.
Is it possible to set a cookie in a PHP script called from jQuery and if so, how?
