note 48621 deleted from function.setcookie by tularis

Note Submitter: enlightenment at scholieren dot com ---- I had great trouble deleting a cookie. I tried to use: setcookie('SSID','blahblahblah',3600,'/'); setcookie('SSID',false); This did not work, although debugging the headers show that PHP sent a "X-SET-COOKIE: SSID=deleted" header, Firefox ignores this and resends the cookie after closing en restarting the browser. The correct way to destroy a cookie: setcookie('SSID','blahblahblah',3600,'/'); setcookie('SSID',false,-3600,'/'); Thus set the expire time in the past and use the very same paramters as stated in the manual page above. Except the value of course, it should be false (without ' ').
