网上看了别人介绍的一片文章，说使用P3P可以完成跨域COOKIE操作，感觉很COOL，不过没有提供源代码，我胡乱写了一下，大家看看。
实际工作中，类似这样的要求很多，比如说，我们有两个域名，我们想实现在一个域名登录后，能自动完成另一个域名的登录，也就是PASSPORT的功能。
我只写一个大概，为了测试的方便，先编辑hosts文件，加入测试域名（C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts）
127.0.0.1 www.a.com
127.0.0.1 www.b.com
首先：创建 a_setcookie.php 文件，内容如下：
<?php
//header('P3P: CP="CURa ADMa DEVa PSAo PSDo OUR BUS UNI PUR INT DEM STA PRE COM NAV OTC NOI DSP COR"');
setcookie("test", $_GET['id'], time()+3600, "/", ".a.com");
?>
然后：创建 a_getcookie.php 文件，内容如下：
<?php
var_dump($_COOKIE);
?>
最后：创建 b_setcookie.php 文件，内容如下：
<script src="http://www.a.com/a_setcookie.php?id=www.b.com"></script>
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
三个文件创建完毕后，我们通过浏览器依次访问：
http://www.b.com/b_setcookie.php
http://www.a.com/a_getcookie.php
我们会发现，在访问b.com域的时候，我们并没有在a.com域设置上cookie值。
然后我们修改一下a_setcookie.php文件，去掉注释符号，a_setcookie.php即为：
<?php
header('P3P: CP="CURa ADMa DEVa PSAo PSDo OUR BUS UNI PUR INT DEM STA PRE COM NAV OTC NOI DSP COR"');
setcookie("test", $_GET['id'], time()+3600, "/", ".a.com");
?>
再次通过浏览器依次访问：
http://www.b.com/b_setcookie.php
http://www.a.com/a_getcookie.php
这次，你会发现在访问b.com域的时候，我们设置了a.com域的cookie值。
末了补充一句，似乎只有IE对跨域访问COOKIE限制比较严格，上述代码在FIREFOX下测试，即使不发送P3P头信息，也能成功。
==========================================
通过Fiddler可以方便的知道上面P3P代码的含义
P3P Header is present:
CP="CURa ADMa DEVa PSAo PSDo OUR BUS UNI PUR INT DEM STA PRE COM NAV OTC NOI DSP COR"

文章说的主要是跨域设置COOKIE的情况，如果是跨域读取COOKIE的情况，只要保证在对应设置COOKIE的时候设置P3P即可，否则在读取的事情IE会屏蔽跨域COOKIE。在Internet Explorer Cookie Internals (FAQ)一文里对这个情况有描述。
