Deleting Cookies

[maxsslade]

I am tryng to write my own PHP User login system, i seem to have hit a few problems.
I am using MySQL and i need a way to store user information for between pages. I used cookies.

The problem is that when i want to log the user out the cookies dont change even if i try and overwrite them. Is there any way of deleting them, or a method to get round this?

set the date to something in the past....

you have to call the setCookie function EXACTLY the same way as you did when you started the cookie... in other words...

if you started as:
setCookie('login','$user$pass', time()+3600, '/');

then you have to delete the cookie like so:

setCookie('login', '', time()-3600, '/');
