How can I get rid of his value? For most IE browser versions, if you provide a time (time() - 3600) you must *also* provide a path: setcookie('referrer', '', time() - 3600, '/'); Also, I'm not at all sanguine about the time() - 3600 bit... You're essentially asking the browser to do something 6 minutes in the past. Since web-browsers are not Time Machines, they may consider that "impossible" and decide you must not have really meant it. I would lost the time component entirely, and go with: setcookie('referrer', ''); It doesn't matter how long you told the browser to keep the cookie around when you set it before. If you tell it to kill the cookie now, it's gonna go away. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
