>From the setcookie page.
"When deleting a cookie you should assure that the expiration date is
in the past, to trigger the removal mechanism in your browser."
Try this
setcookie($username_cookie, '', time()-3600);

Using PHP 4.1.x, the following code, which is intended to
delete a cookie, instead replaces the value with %00 (ascii
entity null?)
Cookies are set with the following:
setcookie($username_cookie,'username');
setcookie($password_cookie,md5('password'));
Cookies are deleted with the following:
setcookie($username_cookie);
setcookie($password_cookie);
Yes, the $username_cookie and $password_cookie variables
have values.
The above is case (a) in the documentation, the simplest
case.
I've tried this on all the systems I have access to.
Affected:
Solaris 7, PHP 4.1.0
Red Hat 7.1, PHP 4.1.1
Not Affected:
Red Hat 7.1, PHP 4.04pl1
Mac OS X 10.1.2, PHP 4.0.6
Solaris 7, PHP 4.06
One affected system that I've used is on a web host
(communitech.net, who just very recently moved to PHP 4.1.0
from 3.0.9, Solaris 7). The other is on the freshly setup
intranet server at my employer (Linux 4.1.1).
Here's the configuration line (Solaris 7, PHP 4.1.0):
'./configure' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--with-
curl=/root/src/curl/curl-7.9.3' '--with-xml' '--with-
apache=/root/src/apache/apache-fp_1.3.3'
And the one from Red Hat 7, PHP 4.1.1:
'./configure' '--prefix=/usr/local' '--with-apache=/usr/
local/src/apache/Apachetoolbox-1.5.50/apache_1.3.22' '--
enable-exif' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-calendar=shared'
'--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-
trans-sid' '--enable-wddx' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd=/usr/
local' '--with-zlib' '--enable-gd-native-tt' '--with-t1lib=
/usr/local' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '-
-with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--with-ttf' '--with-freetype-dir=/
usr' '--with-imap=/usr/local' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--
with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--with-pgsql' '--with-ldap'
The same code works in previous versions of PHP to 4.1, as
indicated above. I've tried the code in three different
browsers so I don't think it is browser dependent.
The actual piece of code is part of a larger system. I can
give you the code or access to one of the servers if
necessary.
Thanks in advance.
