Setting the cookie domain and path

[alexweissman]

I'm using the example code to create the remember me cookie in my login route (/public/account/login):

// If the user wants to be remembered, create Rememberme cookie
if(!empty($data['rememberme'])) {
    $app->remember_me->createCookie($user->id);
} else {
    $app->remember_me->clearCookie();
}

However, the cookie is now limited in visibility to requests to /public/account/login. How can I set the cookie path here via your API?

Just put the following line before your code (or on the line after creating the RememberMe object):

$app->remember_me->getCookie()->setPath("/");

Thanks for the question, I'll make it easier to set your own Cookie instance in version 2.

Yup, that's what I ended up doing. It would also be good if we could set the cookie name and other parameters in the createCookie method as well.

Also if you change the path and get "saved" by the cookie it will discard previously defined paths. Or as far as I can understand.

What I've done is prior to checking the cookie with (in this example) $app->remember_me->login()

I do this to ensure that the path is still '/' after cookie is renewed.

$cookie = $app->remember_me->getCookie();
$cookie->setPath('/');
$app->remember_me->login();

That way in the authenticator it will create a new cookie with correct values. Obviously this is only happens when $remember_me is declared from multiple places.

In Version 2.0 the default path for the cookie is now '/'
