Php / SSI include HELP! Any gurus around?

[whee]

This I can't figure and would appreciate any help or clue to the solution.

I have a .shtml file in the root with:
#include file="dir/file.php"

In file.php I set a J-avascript cookie:
document.cookie='cookname=value;';

Later in another php file, I write the cookie value:
echo $cookname;

This works real fine, no problems there.
Here's the problem:

In a directory mydir, I also have a .shtml file with
#include virtual="/dir/file.php" (same file as above)

The file loads and all, but somehow the J-avascript cookie in file.php is not set!

I figure it's something with the virtual include. But virtual include is a must because the file to include is called from a directory and not the root. Therefore a #include file="yadayada" cannot be used.

I can't figure why the J-avascript cookie isn't set and written...

Any help or clue to "kick-start-my-mind" sure will be appreciated!!

setcookie('cookie', 'data', time() + 3600, '/');

make sure you got that slash there... then it will work on your entire domain

if globals are off, you can't do $cookiename you'd have to do $_COOKIES['cookiename']

Whee!

The solution was to put path=/ into the J-avascript cookie setting...

Thank you guys for giving me the final clue! Appreciate.
