I have the following problem - a third party software is setting a cookie with the login credentials and then forward the user to my app. I now need to retrieve the cookie values:

The problem is - I can do this easily in the Frontend/AS3 with

var ticket : String = CookieUtil.getCookie( 'ticket' ).toString();

but in PHP, the cookie is not within the $_COOKIES array.

The cookie values are:

Name: ticket
Domain: .www.myserver.com
Path : /
Send for: encrypted connections only
Expires: at end of session

The one I see, and set before in PHP is:

Name: myCookie
Host: www.myserver.com
Path : /
Send for: any type of connection
Expires: at end of session

Actually, since host/domain are both the same, it should be visible in the PHP script, since it is running on this domain.

Any thoughts? Thankx

Martin
