I have 2 websites, on different servers. website1.com and website2.com

I am trying to set a cookie for website2.com on website1.com using ajax.

run.php

header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
setcookie("cook", "test", time() + (86400 * 30), "/");
echo $_COOKIE["cook"];

Error: Undefined index: cook

My cookie is not being set.

When running website2.com/run.php directly this works but not with ajax.

I believe the page needs to be reloaded before the cookie is actually set and can be accessed through `$_COOKIE`. – kunruh Feb 23 '16 at 19:10
var_dump(setcookie("cook", "test", time() + (86400 * 30), "/")); what is the output ? – Onur Feb 23 '16 at 19:10
@kunruh not the issue. – richard grant Feb 23 '16 at 19:14
your cookie setted , did you tried to give domain for last parameter ? – Onur Feb 23 '16 at 19:15
@Onur yes, same issue does not work. could this be because of CORS? – richard grant Feb 23 '16 at 19:21
yes this is another case @richardgrant – Onur Feb 23 '16 at 19:25
It's not possible for one domain to set a cookie in another domain. It's totally prohibited by HTTP security. – Barmar Feb 23 '16 at 19:31
