Cookie Problem

[michael-uk]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a cookie based auth system using the cookie so store the user's name and access level. I set the cookie like this:

setcookie('arqz', ${real_name}.'|'.${real_level}, time() + 3600); 

Then read it like this:

if(isset($COOKIE['arqz']))
{
list($cookie_name, $level) = explode('|', $COOKIE['arqz']);
}

The problem I have is with deleting it, it's really odd. I'm sure it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't 😕 This is the line I use to attempt to delete the cookie:

setcookie('arqz', '', time() - 3600);

However this does not seem to work. Does anyone know what the problem could be.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Michael

hope this helps

<?
//set cookies
setcookie("arqz[0]", $_REQUEST["real_name"], time() + 3600);
setcookie("arqz[1]", $_REQUEST["real_level"], time() + 3600);

//post coockies
echo $_COOKIE["arqz"][0]."br>";
echo $_COOKIE["arqz"][1]."br>";

//Delete cookies
setcookie("arqz[0]", "");
setcookie("arqz[1]", "");
?>

I've used this bit of code which has always worked flawlessly for me:

setcooke($cookiename);
$_COOKIE = array();
