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.
