[SOLVED] unsetting cookie does not work

[evanct]

So when user logs in, cookie is set in loggedin.php:

 

<?php
$id=$_GET['id'];
setcookie('login',$id,time()+7200,'/');
header('location:index.php');

?>

 

Then when the user logs out, as part of the logout function(which otherwise works) the cookie is allegedly unset:

 

setcookie ('login', '', time() - 7200);

 

It then redirects to index.php, where if $_COOKIE['login'] is not set it will redirect to login.php. it doesn't redirect. print_r($_COOKIE) reveals that $_COOKIE['login'] is in fact still set to the value it was set to in loggedin.php.

 

What's going on?

Can you try setting the path argument ("/") when you unset the cookie?
