cookies

This is simple. I set the cookies, storing their username and password.

Code:

setcookie('userid', $userid, strtotime(date('Y-m-d H:i:s')) + (86400 * 30), '/', getenv('HTTP_HOST'));

setcookie('userpassword', $userpassword, strtotime(date('Y-m-d H:i:s')) + (86400 * 30), '/', getenv('HTTP_HOST'));

Now, to delete these cookies, I would just do

Code:

setcookie('userid', '', strtotime(date('Y-m-d H:i:s')) - (86400 * 30), '/', getenv('HTTP_HOST'));

setcookie('userpassword', ''strtotime(date('Y-m-d H:i:s')) -(86400 * 30), '/', getenv('HTTP_HOST'));

Correct?

It seems that I've tried a million different things and the cookie will never die.

Also, I have sessions on the page, so will that have any effect on the cookie being deleted?

Arg. Help. :\

Maxl, I have no advice to offer, but it does appear we come to the same place for help 🙂

It looks like you are setting cookies for authentication.

Just leave the date out, and the cookie will only live for the browser session, and may never be saved to the user's disk.
