noobstar Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 The cookie is set in the login script and here it is:[code]$_POST['username'] = stripslashes($_POST['username']);setcookie(ID_my_site, $_POST['username'], time() + 3600);setcookie(Key_my_site, $_POST['pass'], time() + 3600);[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/29085-cookie-destroy-problem/#findComment-133352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuggieBear Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 OK, in that case, try leaving the value field as either blank, or FALSE[code=php:0]setcookie(ID_my_site, "", time() - 3600);[/code] RegardsHuggie Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/29085-cookie-destroy-problem/#findComment-133383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
