[SOLVED] PHP cookies - cannot delete!

[bluefusionxl]

Okay so my PHP cookies are created fine.  But then on a different page where I try to delete them, it's a different story.  It seems it creates a new cookie and deletes the new instance, from what I've experimented by setting the time forward instead of in the past.  The original cookies are untouched.  Firefox and IE has trouble with this.  Opera does not.

 

Cookie Creation

<?php
if ($_SESSION['level']=="") {
if (isset($_POST['rm_user'])) {
$signin = new signin();
$status = $signin->execute($_POST['rm_user'],$_POST['rm_pass']);
if($status==1) {
		//Setting user sessions
		mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass) or die($error_db_connect);
		mysql_select_db($db_name) or die($error_db_select);
		$signin_query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='{$_POST['rm_user']}' LIMIT 1") or die($error_db_select);          
		$_SESSION['level'] = mysql_result($signin_query,0,"level");
		$_SESSION['username'] = mysql_result($signin_query,0,"username");
		mysql_close();
		//Setting remember me cookie
		if ($_POST['rm_remember']=="Remember") {
		$rm_pass = md5($_POST['rm_pass']);
		setcookie("remember1",$_POST['rm_user'],time()+60*60*24*14,"/",$domain,0);
		setcookie("remember2",$rm_pass,time()+60*60*24*14,"/",$domain,0);
		}	
	echo("
		<script type='text/javascript' language='javascript'>
		<!--
		document.location='{$http_url}';
		//-->
		</script>
		");
}
else {
	define("tpl_page",$page_user_login);
	$init_page = new template();
	$init_page->display("header");
	$init_page->display("user_login_error");
	//$init_page->ad("leader");
	$init_page->display("footer");
}
}
else {
define("tpl_page",$page_user_login);
$init_page = new template();
$init_page->display("header");
$init_page->display("user_login");
//$init_page->ad("leader");
$init_page->display("footer");
echo($_SESSION['level']);
}
}
else {
echo("<script type='text/javascript' language='javascript'>
	<!--
	var answer = confirm('{$error_signedin}');
		if (answer){
		window.location = '{$http_url}/sign-out';
		}
		else{
		history.back();
		}
	//-->
	</script>");
}                      
?>

Wouldn't it be:

 

setcookie("remember1","", time()-60*60*24*14,"/",$domain,0);
setcookie("remember2","",time()-60*60*24*14,"/",$domain,0);

 

It looks like your doing (60*60*24*14 - 3600) which won't expire the cookie. That's not long enough right?

If you need to delete a cookie, then just set it's expiry time to something in the past. E.g. time()-3600 (an hour ago).

Signin.php creates the cookie while user.php tries to delete it.  If you look at user.php, it is setting time in the past.

Thanks everyone.  It seemed Firefox only deletes cookies after you are out of the Cookie dialog.
