Cookies Not Wanting to be unset

[Napster]

I just can not unset this cookie no matter what. This is what I have tried so far to unset the cookie and the cookie name is user.

  setcookie("user", "", time() - 3600);

  setcookie("user", NULL, time() - 3600);

  setcookie("user", FALSE, time() - 3600);

  setcookie("user", "", 0);

  setcookie("user", "");

  $_COOKIE['user'] = NULL;

Thank you in advance.

I would do like you did in your first try:

 setcookie("user", "$_COOKIE[user]", time()-3600);  //This should unset it, as long as you set the cookies life to an hour...

Remember that the pages usually needs to be refreshed in order for the cookie unset to take effect; so, if you are making a logout script I would do something like this:

 setcookie("user", "$_COOKIE[user]", time()-3600);  

header("Refresh: 0; URL=http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . "/" . $url); //replace $url with where you want the user to be sent to.

Let me know if this works. 🙂
