New Comment:

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation
better.

"Default is none at all meaning the host name of the server which
generated the cookie according to cookies specification."

Hint: If that ini option is empty, the parameter will not be set at
all. (after that, it's up to the browser to behave correctly..)

Description:
------------
For the php.ini setting session.cookie_domain, the default
value of '' (empty string) is documented in the php.ini and on
the website. However, the meaning of the empty string value,
and its expected default behavior, is not documented. The
documentation needs updating to state what cookie domain will
be sent to the browser.

As of now I am getting conflicting reports of whether this
empty value should set the cookie to '.blah.com' (to go across
all sub-domains) or just 'www.blah.com'
