Help! Cookies and Netscape Problem.

Anon

Hi there. I have some problems regarding the Cookies problem, hope you guys can help me to solve it.

I had created a member authentication form for member login purpose. At the same time I had set a cookie to their local PC so that every time the member browse the "member-only" section, the cookie is checked to make sure that the user is still login.

Now here's the problem, when the user logout, I wish to delete the cookie, so that different users can login with their own username in the same local PC. What I did is add the code below to my PHP3 script:

setcookie("fmusername","");

It works in IE, but Netscape. So I try another way to writing the above code:

setcookie("fmusername","",time()+0);

Same thing happens.

That's my problem, and I will be very appreciate if someone can help me to solve this problems.....

I got to tell you, I don't know too much, but I understand if you setcookie(a,b) and b is empty, it deletes the cookie.

Did you read the manual section about cookies?
It contains tons of info about common mistakes.

Also, just in case, cookies do not become available (or unavailable) untill the next time the browser access the script. ie: When a browser accesses a page, it first sends it's "old" cookies, and then accepts the new cookies from the server.
