How can I cause XOOPS to set the cookie for the session to be .myhost.org instead of myhost.org?

I use mod_rewrite for a few modules and virtual hosts, for instance: forums.myhost.org is really myhost.org/modules/newbb/ but when the user logs in from myhost.org and the cookie is set from myhost.org then when accessing forums.myhost.org the session cookie is not sent because the domain names do not match.

By specifying .myhost.org, this will cause the browser to send the cookie to anything.myhost.org ... forums.myhost.org, myhost.org, whatever.myhost.org...

Can this be done?

Edit: I realized I posted this in the wrong forum. If a moderator sees this and would like to move it to, say, XOOPS general usage questions or a more appropriate forum I would appriciate that.

it can at the php level (probably in mainfile.php).


or in an .htaccess file (apache only)

Ackbarr, thanks! That indeed made things work beautifully.

Just to clear up any confusion, I used myhost.org as an example, it's not my site, nor am I affiliated with it in any way. I guess for examples I am going to start using localhost ... that's what I should have used to begin with, sorry.

I am using XOOPS to replacehttp://lifewithchrist.org not a site I do not have anything to do with, myhost.org.

thanks for clearing that up, though I understood that you were only using it as an example
