Delete cookie

[dink87522]

How do I delete a cookie. I have

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

and are trying to delete the cookie questionCount although it doesn't work.

It works in IE, but not Firefox???

Sounds like it's a browser issue.. and by that, I think it's YOUR browser issue.

Try resetting Firefox to default settings, and give it a second shot.

You are not putting the correct parameters into the setcookie() function. The second parameter is the value (you are trying to put a time into it) and the third parameter is the expire time.

So it would be something like this:

 

setcookie('questionCount', '', time() - 3600);

//By the way, is there any reason not to just do this:

setcookie('cookieName', '', 0);

//Zero in unix time is about forty years ago. Any reason not to do this?
