Cookie creation/deletion

[Drezard]

Im writing an app that uses cookies. Now... my code to create a cookie looks like this:

 

// my cookie creation
setcookie("USER_SESSION", ($this->user_id . "+|+" . $this->password), (time() + 900));

 

my code to delete the cookie looks like this:

// my cookie deletion
setcookie("USER_SESSION", "", ((1-time())-900));

 

The cookie creates but it wont delete.

 

Whats wrong?

Just use time() - 900. The value must be a valid Unix Timestamp. Doing 1-time()-900 results in negative a value that wraps around and looks like a large positive value.

nope. even when I changed it, it still wouldn't work. the code for deleting the cookie is:

 

setcookie("USER_SESSION", "", (time()-3600));
