unsetting cookies.

[xyn]

Hi.

I've not used cookies much, but I started to try and use them,

I understand to unset them the expirey date /time needs to be

in the past. i've used...

 

<?
$cookie_name = "testCookie";
if(!$_COOKIE[$cookie_name]){
setcookie($cookie_name, "true", time()+(14*24*60*60)); # 2 weeks.
echo("setting");
}
else{
if($_GET[x] == 1){
setcookie($cookie_name, "true", time()-(14*24*60*60)); # 2 weeks Ago.
}
print_r($_COOKIE);
}
?>

 

it doesnt seem to expire the cookie.

[MasterACE14]

<?php 
setcookie($cookie_name, "true", time()-3600);
?>

 

will destroy the cookie, the 3600 is the amount of seconds in 1 hour. So this cookie is being set to expire 1 hour ago.
