setcookie( “CookieName1″, $CookieName1Value, $CookieExpDate, “/”, “.site1.com” );
This works, no problem. Now test.site1.com uses .NET to read in the value and do something. Pretty standard stuff here:
If Request.Cookies(“CookieName1″) IsNot Nothing Then
”DO SOMETHING
End If
Build > Debug, set a breakpoint on the if block, skips right over it. Huh? I make sure IE has the cookie, try again. Nope, Request.Cookies(”CookieName1″) is Nothing. Can’t be an IE thing can it? Run same scenerio in FireFox - same result. Then it dawns on me, I’m not running this under test.site1.com, I’m running this under localhost. Everything was working as expected, cookies can only be read by *.site1.com. So how am I going to test this thing on my local machine? I do have a sandbox, test1sandbox.site1.com, but what if I didn’t? A simple solution is to change the host file found at %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\ with:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 test1.site1.com
Run another Debug, change the http://localhost to http://test1.site1.com and now I’m able to read cookies from *.site1.com. Nifty.

Here are the simple scripts I use to upload files and a script to stream the file back to the browser.
MySQL Database Script:
CREATE TABLE `UploadedFiles` (
`UploadedFileID` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(30) default NULL,
`type` varchar(30) default NULL,
`size` int(11) default NULL,
`content` longblob,
PRIMARY KEY (`UploadedFileID`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;
Upload Script:
'holds db constructor
include("{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/phplibrary/dbconnect.php");
###################
//Consume Post Vars
###################
if (!empty($_POST['upload']))
{
//Loop thru Post Array
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
$$key = $value;
}
$connect->connect_db(mydatabase)
//Insert File
if(isset($_POST[’upload’]) && $_FILES[’SpecialFile’][’size’] > 0) {
$fileName = $_FILES[’SpecialFile’][’name’];
$tmpName = $_FILES[’SpecialFile’][’tmp_name’];
$fileSize = $_FILES[’SpecialFile’][’size’];
$fileType = $_FILES[’SpecialFile’][’type’];
$fp= fopen($tmpName, ‘r’);
$content = addslashes($content);
fclose($fp);
}
if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$fileName = addslashes($fileName);
}
$query = “INSERT INTO UploadedFiles (name, size, type, content) “.
“VALUES (’$fileName’, ‘$fileSize’, ‘$fileType’, ‘$content’)”;
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
dberror (mysql_error(), $_SERVER[’PHP_SELF’] );
echo mysql_error();
}
//Display Confirmation
$message = urlencode(”Your file has been uploaded.”);
header( “Location: confirmed.php?m=$message” );
exit;
}
?>
To download the file I prefer to push the file down as octet stream/binary data (NOTE: To display images you would need to push out the particular mime type). That way users get the “Save” dialoge instead of the browser (especially IE) automatically trying to open with what it *thinks* should. The following codes displays the file in a drop down list for users to select and have the file streamed to their web browser.
