Cookies or sessions

[Najjar]

Hi everybody,
I am trying to use cookies and it works but I can not delete
them after that I am doing this to setup the cookie:

if ((!isset($strUserName)) || (!isset($strUserPassword))) {
setcookie("strUserName",$entered_login,time()+14400,"/","domainname",0);
setcookie("strUserPassword",$entered_password,time()+14400,"/","domainname",0);
}

and I am using this code to delete which I got from
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/00/05/index2a_page5.html?tw=programming

setcookie("strUserName","",time() - 28800,"/","domainname",0);
setcookie("strUserPassword","",time() - 28800,"/","domainname",0);

basiclly this will set the value null to the cookies

its NOT working any idea
I want to use sessions but I am new to both sessions and cookies

any idea or help will be great guys
please help.........
thank you in advance

I would prefer sessions myself.

Just make sure you have session_start(); at the top of every page that calls for sessions.

Then you can either set sessions like this:

$var = $_POST["var"];
session_register('var');

Or like this:

$var = $_POST["var"];
$_SESSION['var'] = $var

Then on other pages that calls the sessions do something like this:

session_start();
$var = $_SESSION['var'];

Hope that helps,

To delete sessions, use this:

session_destroy();

That is particular in logouts.
