How can the virtual path and URL-path differences impact the accessibility of cookies in PHP scripts?

When the virtual path and URL-path differ in PHP scripts, cookies may not be accessible due to the mismatch in paths. To solve this issue, you can set the cookie path explicitly to ensure it is accessible across different paths. 

// Set the cookie with an explicit path
setcookie('cookie_name', 'cookie_value', time() + 3600, '/path_to_cookie_directory');
