That I figured.. which leads to a dilemma:

I can set cookies to *.domain1.com, however, I am having to also set a
cookie value, the same cookie value, to a few remote scripts on
*.domain2.com, and since setcookie can't be used twice (I tried doing that
and only *.domain1.com was set, *.domain2.com was not), I don't know of an
easy solution to set the values of both domains in at least one script?
