Re: Php 4 Deleteing Cookies: Trying to set and delete a cookie in same page

first, it's not PHP that won't delete the cookie...it's the nature of cookies. second, there is no need to try to delete it and set it to a new value. Just set it to the new value. third, the cookie will expire and disappear when the browser closes. The browser MUST close, not simply go to another page. ---- Original Message ----- From: "John Weez" <john@atomfx.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 6:55 PM Subject: [PHP] Php 4 Deleteing Cookies: Trying to set and delete a cookie in same page Hi all.
