I was having problems unsetting a cookie, I need to do this so
that a user could "logout" of a php program
I read all the notes in this section to no avail
What did work was
if I set the original cookie up like
setcookie("MYCOOKIE",$value,time() + 3600,"/");
I could reliably unset it with :
setcookie("MYCOOKIE","",time() -10 ,"/");
I.E set the time as a relative negative ( I got this from a Javascript manual)
Hope this helps other head bangers
( have to say that the php4 documentation is not good )
