I have a login page - if the user logs in correctly i create session(with session_start()) , a cookie is written to client + session file to server. 2.)When the user logs off - i call the logOff.php page . The contents are as follows : <?php session_start(); setcookie(session_name(),-3600); session_unset(); session_destroy(); ect. ?> Now , when the user logs in again , i want a NEW COOKIE to be sent with a new id , to the client! This does not happen as the first cookie was never deleted. So when the user logs in again the same cookie is used ! why ? Thanks alot Shaun
