Cookies AHHHH

[fnbcprog]

How in the world do you tell the browser to destroy the cookie when the browser is closed?

I set the cookie with the following parameters but when I type in the address into the location bar the cookie is still present for validation?

setcookie("hello",$helloVar,0,$cookie_path,$cookie_domain);

What is going wrong?

how to expire that cookie

setcookie("hello", $helloVar, time()-3600*24,$cookie_path,$cookie_domain); //expire 1 day ago (i think)

from php.net/setcookie

<?php
$value = 'something from somewhere';

setcookie ("TestCookie", $value);
setcookie ("TestCookie", $value,time()+3600); / expire in 1 hour /
setcookie ("TestCookie", $value,time()-3600); / expired 1 hour ago /
?>
