I’ve written a cookie for my domain + subdomain: setcookie(“visitor”, $visitor, time()+60*60*24*365, “/”, “.mydomain.net”); but when I try to read it from within subdomain.mydomain.net, it’s empty. Could it be that $_COOKIE[] tries to read the cookie for the subdomain instead of reading the global one? How do I fix this? TIA Steven Edit Happens in … Read more
We have a number of sites that have blogs, like domainA.com/blog domainB.com/blog and we host the blogs on wordpress multi user: our-separate-wordpress-site.com/domaina_blog our-separate-wordpress-site.com/domainb_blog for SEO reasons we really, really want domainA.com/blog to be the blog url, not the other path.

I recently decided to comply with the YSlow recommendation that static content is hosted on a cookieless domain. As I already use the root of my domain (donaldjenkins.com) to host my website—on which Google Analytics sets a few cookies—that meant I had to move the CNAME URL for the CDN serving the static files from … Read more
The Joomla CMS Platform has an /administratotr/ folder which cannot be renamed. I’d like to secure it by requiring a custom url parameter to access it – I.E. /administrator/index.php?token=1149785380. After accessing this url, an html session cookie should be used to allow access for the duration of their browser session. Any thoughts what could be … Read more

We have varnish sitting in front of our site and it is imperative that we cache as much as possible. Recently we decided to ditch GeoIP redirection for interstate content for a more traditional ‘choose your location’ page.
