Cookies are omni present

[nigel_belanger]

Can't seem to get the cookie to disappear by closing my browser or timing out.

Using IE v6

Cookie code:

// encrypt the cookie
$secret = "Silly lil cookie";
$id = "$user_id";
$hash = md5($id . $secret);

// set cookie
$exp["cookielife"] = 14400;
$expire=time()+$exp["cookielife"];
setcookie("id","$id::$hash",$expire,"/","");

I COULD run a query against the stored value of $expire, but I want it to expire on it's own...

...thoughts?

Euhm.. you probably don't want to have something like this, but you could assign a 'new' cookie using the same name (or variable, whatever) setting the time to expire to minus 1 hour..

Something like this?

Good luck to you stranger 😉
