Re: Wierd Cookies

hmm, still no luck. The problem is not that the cookie in in memory, the problem is that its still on the hard drive. for example: User Logs On, User Logs off = cookie still on hd (even if you close the browser) example2: User restarts browser, User does not log on (cookie info still on hd), User logs off = works fine. any ideas? ----- Original Message ----- From: scott [gts] <scott@graphictype.com> To: php <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 12:39 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Wierd cookie behiavor > if you dont specify an expiration time, the cookie > will hang around in memory until the browser is > closed... even if it's an empty cookie.
