note 72960 added to function.setcookie

Here is problem I ran into during a recent bout with IE7 and cookies. IE will not delete a cookie value if the time is set to the past. It will hold the value no matter how far in the past you set the "expire" value. IE7 is the only browser I have had problems with - so here is the solution I came up with. <?PHP //check to see how to set the cookie $Browsertype = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; $Parts = explode(" ",$Browsertype); $MSIE = array_search("MSIE",$Parts); if($MSIE) { setcookie("name", "", time()+20000); } else { setcookie("name", "", time()-20000, "/", ".domain.com" ); } ?> ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 70.130.163.106 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/72960 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72960/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72960/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72960/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72960/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72960/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72960/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/72960 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/72960 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
