Problem with setting cookies in CI

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi all

I need a value to be available in one of my plugins(FCKEditor-to set the root folder dynamically,for uploading files , in the config.php file of the connector).
I am trying to make use of cookies for that.
I used set_cookie method of CI.
But it is not working.( i am able to use session cookies)
When i used the native setcookie method the path was set to the file location from where i set even if i gave the path as '/'.
Please help me on this.


Or is it possible to access session outside the application. i.e. in plugins?
Cheers.
