i can't kill my cookie

 

set cookie in login

// if login is ok then we add a cookie 
$_POST['username'] = stripslashes($_POST['username']); 
$hour = time() + 3600; 
setcookie(ID_my_site, $_POST['username'], $hour); 
setcookie(Key_my_site, $_POST['pass'], $hour);

 

header

<?php
//checks cookies to make sure they are logged in 
if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_my_site'])) 
{ 
$username = $_COOKIE['ID_my_site']; 
$pass = $_COOKIE['Key_my_site']; 
}
...
reference to logout.php
echo "<a style='text-decoration:none' href='http://localhost/logout/logout.php'><FONT FACE='ariel' SIZE='2' color='#5f5f5f'>Logout</FONT></a>";
?>

 

logout.php

<?php 
if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_my_site'])) 
{ 
$username = $_COOKIE['ID_my_site']; 
$pass = $_COOKIE['Key_my_site']; 
}
$past = time() - 3900; 
//this makes the time in the past to destroy the cookie 
setcookie(ID_my_site, $username, $past); 
setcookie(Key_my_site, $pass, $past); 

header("Location: http://localhost/"); 
?>

Based on the paths in your logout link and in your header redirect, you need to set the path in the setcookie() (4th parameter) so that the cookie is available in all paths on your site.

[premiso]

setcookie('ID_my_site', false); 
setcookie('Key_my_site', false);

 

Give that a try.

 

Because setting a cookie with a value of FALSE will try to delete the cookie, you should not use boolean values. Instead, use 0 for FALSE  and 1 for TRUE.

 

setcookie

 

EDIT:

If that fails, follow PFMaBismAd instructions. Also you should set the past to be at least 1 year ago, due to timezone differences.
