domain=DOMAIN_NAME
When searching the cookie list for valid cookies, a comparison of the
domain attributes of the cookie is made with the Internet domain name of
the host from which the URL will be fetched. If there is a tail match, then
the cookie will go through path matching to see if it should be sent. "Tail
matching" means that domain attribute is matched against the tail of the
fully qualified domain name of the host. A domain attribute of "acme.com"
would match host names "anvil.acme.com" as well as "shipping.crate.acme.com".
Based upon the above, just change:
$domain = ".townvalues.com";
to
$domain = "townvalues.com";
