cookies.......help

[Smifffy]

ive got a script that submits $UserName which i want to be set as a cookie that bit works but i want it so if there was another cookie with that name that it will overwrite the old one and put the new one from the form in

<?
setcookie ("usernamecookie", "", time()-60); //this removes any previous cookie
setcookie ("usernamecookie", "$UserName", time()+3600); //sets new cookie

but it only seems to work if you refresh the page 1-2 times

help....please

Is the page being cached locally ? If so could be a problem. Otherwise, if you set no time limit they are deleted when the browser window is closed.

i could be cached locally but that shouldnt be the problem cos the just has to say delete the cookie but it aint working
i might have it set to go on browser window closure i dunno
