note 65650 added to function.setcookie

using time()-1 to delete (expire) a cookie only works if the client's clock is set exact. my testing showed some weird results with my clock set 1 second or so behind the server. 1 day or even just a few seconds ahead of the server's time and the cookie doesn't expire when it's suposed to. my test: setcookie('k',$k+1,time()-1); echo $k; setting the expire time to 0 makes it a browser session cookie, lasting forever, until the browser is closed. but setting the expire time to 1 is the lowest timestamp possible and is most likely to expire the cookie without any problems. my fix: setcookie('k',$k+1,1); echo $k; this is my theory. I'm not sure why no one else has thought of this problem or solution, and I'm still testing, but please email me your questions or comments. ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 24.115.146.152 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/65650 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65650/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65650/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65650/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65650/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65650/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65650/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/65650 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/65650 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
