first, it's not PHP that won't delete the cookie...it's the nature of cookies.
second, there is no need to try to delete it and set it to a new value. Just set it
to the new value.
third, the cookie will expire and disappear when the browser closes. The browser MUST
close, not simply go to another page.

Subject: [PHP] Php 4 Deleteing Cookies: Trying to set and delete a cookie in same page
Hi all.
I'm trying to delte a cookie and then set it to a new value in a php
page. The problem is that once the cookie is set. PHP will not delete it.
I use PhP 4. Here is the code...The pgp file name is testcookie.php...so
the page goes back to itself again..i'm testing to see my code was
allowing me to update the cookie to new values...etc...any ideas???
<?php
setcookie("username","");
setcookie("username",$username);
?>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="FORM" ACTION="./testcookie.php">
Your name:<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="username">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" value="submit"
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
