He's right.  If you set the path to "/" on a cookie, it can only be read
by files placed in "/".  Ex. -- One script in "/" sets a cookie with the
path "/".  A script in /foo/ can't see the cookie because it isn't
explicitly in "/" but "/foo/".  

What you want to do is set the domain to be http://www.mydomain.com, not
set the path.  You could even get away with not setting the domain,
because I believe that a cookie will default to the domain of the script
that set it.
