New Comment:
Parameters can be skipped by 0 or '' as documented. How to delete a
cookie is nowadays also documented. However I documented that expire is
compared to client's time.

yes, it's the same problem trouble me.
then same when setcookie('name', '', 0, '/');
the question is: Is 1 year and 1 second enough ?
when a pc lost battery, and turned off, system clock is reset to long
long ago.
i dunno if a browser compare the "Expire time" to system clock or
"Date: ..." header return by server
the document of php tell us nothing about this.
currently, i have to do:
setcookie('name', "0", 0, '/');
and change my script isset($_COOKIE['name']) to
!empty($_COOKIE['name'])
even javascript:
var myc = mygetcookie('name');
if (myc && myc != '0')
{
//.......
}
hope there's a final solution to this problem :)

When using the setcookie function, I noted that setting the value to
NULL had the following result:
The expire time argument was completely ignored, and automatically set
to one year and one second ago. Also the value sent to the browser for
this cookie had changed to 'deleted'.
I browsed the PHP source code, and saw my suspicions confirmed, this is
the correct behaviour.
Could this be included in the documentation? I really like the
following syntax:
setcookie('name', null, null, '/');
