For security reasons, I don't think you can.

The topmost level you can write a cookie - is at the domain level. So if you
specified a cookie was for "abc.com" - any page and any subdomain could read
that cookie, but no one else could.

If you are working with another company, you should setup a common
subdomain. For example, if you are at www.abc.com - and your vendor is
www.xyz.com - they should setup a web server and call it xzy.abc.com - so
then they can write cookies and you can read them (because they are from the
same domain) - and vice versa.

But you can't just read anyone elses cookies.. Imagine, you could go read
the cookies for my automatic login to EBay or my bank... that would be bad..

What you can do is save the information ( that you put in a cookie and wants
to share between domains ) in a SQL Server Database that way you can get
to the data you want. You will have to do more work here however.

RAM based cookies

by: Mark | last post by:

I'm told that ram based cookies refer to session cookies (which the browser may still store on disk if it likes). These cookies that are destroyed when the bowser exits. If they are "session cookies", and we have disabled the use of session because we have clustered web servers and do not want to store session state elsewhere due to performance concerns, does that prohibit the use of these session cookies altogether? Or is the...

Reading a cookie

by: Jerim79 | last post by:

I did try to find the answer to this before posting, so this isn't a knee jerk reaction. What I am trying to accomplish is to have a script that opens a cookie, reads a value, and then use a switch/case to take action based on that value in the cookie. I want to set the cookie manually, so I don't need setcookie(). I see that in PHP it stores the cookie in memory. Is there a way to have PHP just read a cookie from the desktop machine?...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
