Cookies will NOT delete.

Ok. What I'm doing is checking to see whether the UID and Encrypted Password combination is correct.

 

if($need_log > 0){
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `id`='{$_COOKIE['uid']}' AND `password`='{$_COOKIE['cpp']}'";
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

if(mysql_num_rows($res) == 0){
setcookie("uid","",time()-314496000);
setcookie("cp","",time()-314496000);
setcookie("cpp","",time()-314496000);
unset($_COOKIE);
header("Location: /index.php");
}
}

 

It does redirect the user to the index but the cookies remain unchanged and have the same values in the end. That's the exact code I have when the user wants to log out, and that works, but the code checked here does not work.

Is this code being executed from a different path? I know cookies are pretty sensitive, so if you set them in /subpath/subpath2, then try to delete them from root or /subpath, it may not work. If you're not setting the path parameters explicitly when the cookie is created, try doing that, then stating the same parameters when you delete them. If that doesn't work, I don't have any idea what the problem might be. It seems strange that the deletion works on logout but not there.

The path for the cookies are set to "/"

Hm. So you're setting the cookies with setcookie("uid", [id], time() + 60*60*24*365, "/"). Did you try deleting it with setcookie("uid", "", time() - 3600, "/")? I didn't pick up from your post whether or not you're operating in the same path with both calls to setcookie(). That would certainly make a difference.

Um, it's set as "/" by default.

 

Well I have:

 

domains.com/logout.php

and

domains.com/forums/index.php
