#46639 [NEW]: setcookie with past date fails to delete cookie if path not set
From: simon at incarnis dot com
Operating system: Solaris 10
PHP version: 5.2.6
PHP Bug Type: *Web Server problem
Bug description: setcookie with past date fails to delete cookie if path not set
Description:
------------
Cookie is created with an 8 hour expiry time, supplying only the name,
value and expire parameters.
Attempt to remove cookie using setcookie with the same name, a null value
and an expire parameter of -1 hours.
Cookie not removed.
Supplying the (supposedly optional) path parameter set to "/" successfully
removes the cookie.
Reproduce code:
---------------
setcookie("user", $_SESSION[user], mktime()+(60*60*8));
...
...
setcookie("user",NULL,mktime()-3600);
Expected result:
----------------
Cookie should not exist.
Actual result:
--------------
Cookie does exist. Add a path parameter of "/" to the removal call and the
cookie is removed.
