Cookies won't set?

[Balmung-San]

Okay, I've got this script that's [i]supposed[/i] to check for the existance of a cookie, wether or not the user exists based on the value of the cookie, and whether the password(contained in another cookie) is valid. However, it seems that it's not working correctly when the cookie doesn't exist. Any help?

[code] if(isset($_COOKIE['hd_amv_user']))
{
if(!isset($_COOKIE['hd_amv_pass']))
{
setcookie("hd_amv_user","Guest",(time()+24*3600*9999));
setcookie("hd_amv_pass","",(time()+24*3600*9999));
}
else
{
$passCheckSql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM amv_users WHERE username='".$_COOKIE['hd_amv_user']."'");
if(mysql_num_rows($passCheckSql) > 1 || mysql_num_rows($passCheckSql) == 0)
{
setcookie("hd_amv_user","Guest",(time()+24*3600*9999));
setcookie("hd_amv_pass","",(time()+24*3600*9999));
}
else
{
$passCheck = mysql_fetch_array($passCheckSql);
if(strcasecmp($_COOKIE['hd_amv_pass'], $passCheck['password']) != 0)
{
setcookie("hd_amv_user","Guest",(time()+24*3600*9999));
setcookie("hd_amv_pass","",(time()+24*3600*9999));
}
}
}
}
else
{
setcookie("hd_amv_user","Guest",(time()+24*3600*9999));
setcookie("hd_amv_pass","",(time()+24*3600*9999));
}
[/code]

Sorry for the double post, I fixed that one, but now my logout script doesn't work. I do the setcookie() calls first thing in my script, set them both to blank with an expire time of time()-3600. Shouldn't that erase the cookies?

Oh, and I run the above script after I supposedly erased them.

As you haven't posted your code for expiring the cookies, I have to guess what it looks like, but one piece of advice is make sure you you set it with the same amount of parameters.

From the manual...

Cookies must be deleted with the same parameters as they were set with. If the value argument is an empty string, or FALSE, and all other arguments match a previous call to setcookie, then the cookie with the specified name will be deleted from the remote client.[/quote]

Ah, that'd do it. I was setting with 5 parameters, and trying to erase with 3.
