RE: AW: [PHP] Kill a cookie....

Cookie is a file sent by a browser to the server. If you set a cookie, you will be still unable to read it on your page, unless you give the browser a chance to resend it to you. To do so you'll need the user to hit or refresh a page on your site. Then, and only then the browser will be sending the new cookie file. Here's a little solution: since you are setting the cookie to something (whether it is a null or value), set the variable so first, then read the variable. So it will become available till the page ends. Then on a new hit a new value will arrive.
