illegal cookies?[resolved]

[phpman]

someone explain what a illegal cookie is?

Opera7.xx says it is receving a illegal cookie as the path is not correct in it. what the hell is that?

setcookie ("userid", $cookie_id, $newtime,SITE_URL."/index.php");

that is what I use and it refuses to use it. it tells me illegal cookie because of the illegal path.

a path in a cookie does not match the page address

what is the page address cause I have tried about 4 different ones?

[phpman]

well somewhat fixed.

instead of using the default "/" I have aded "/folder" and it works.

not sure why but you still have to refresh Opera for it to take effect even though I save write the cookie on another page and then refresh to the requested page.

so Opera is very picky and stupid all in one.
