Well, why is the base not simply '/'? No problems with different domains=
, =

evrything is relative to the specific domain, and cookies will always be=

valid. This would be the preferred way of doing things.

Alternatively, you can force a certain domain on them with a .htaccess =

rewrite. Let's say you want everyone to only use www.example.com:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com
RewriteRule .* %{SERVER_PROTOCOL}://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} =

[L,R=3D301,QSA]

Seems a lot easier, simpler & reliable then to try to make =

cookies/sessions jump domain :-)
