[Resolved] Killing a Cookie

[ow-phil]

Hey all,

I need to be able to killoff a cookie when a customer finishs an order and has reached the final page which is the customer record of the order. The reason for this is that the site has been done in frames (not my choice, the clients) and I am having a problem with the cookies not being ended. I do cannot set the cookie to expire after a certain amount of time (again, customer's specs).

How do I tell a cookie to DIE!...

TIA,

Phil

from http://ca2.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

Cookies must be deleted with the same parameters as they were set with. If the value argument is an empty string (""), and all other arguments match a previous call to setcookie, then the cookie with the specified name will be deleted from the remote client.

example

$value = 'something from somewhere';
setcookie ("TestCookie1", $value);
setcookie ("TestCookie2", $value,time()+3600);  /* expire in 1 hour */
setcookie ("TestCookie3", $value,time()+3600, "/~rasmus/", ".example.com", 1);
//deleting the cookie

setcookie ("TestCookie1", "");
setcookie ("TestCookie2", "", time() - 3600);
setcookie ("TestCookie3", "", time() - 3600, "/~rasmus/", ".example.com", 1);
