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'

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..)

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."
