Why is "www.example.com” not the same as "example.com”?

I have a website. If I login in the domain of this format http://example.com and then change my address to http://www.example.com , i find my account is not logged in. If I change the address to http://example.com , I find my account is logged in.



I contacted my host, they told me its a programming issue.



How can i solve this issue so both addresses represent same access/session/cookies?



I'm using PHP & MySQL

    You have to set the domain path of your cookie like this to make it available on all subdomains: (www is a subdomain):

    .domain.com

    It is not same..
    usually you can go to www.example.com just with writing example.com to your browser, but your browser added www to your url..
    so basicly it is not same

Wildcards in a hosts file

By User
I want to setup my local development machine so that any requests for *.local are redirected to localhost . The idea is that as I develop multiple sites, I can just add vhosts to Apache called site1.local , site2.local etc, and have them all resolve to localhost , while Apache serves a different site accordingly.
