Cookies problem

Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2004 10:25 pm (20 years, 2 months ago)

I can login to my script fine with this

Code:

setcookie("user",$userc,time()+99999, "/"); // Set cookies
setcookie("pass",$fpass,time()+99999, "/");

but the logout won't logout with this

Code:

setcookie("user"," ",time()-3600,"/"); // Delete cookies
setcookie("pass"," ",time()-3600,"/");

The cookie will only set the cookie on loading the page...hence when building the page the values of the cookies are still as they were from the previous page... to make the cookie unset for the loading of the logout page you could use:

Code:

setcookie("user","",time()-3600,"/"); // notice no space
unset($_COOKIE['user']);
setcookie("pass","",time()-3600,"/");
unset($_COOKIE['pass']);

or you could use:

Code:

setcookie("user","",time()-3600,"/"); // notice no space
$_COOKIE['user']="";
setcookie("pass","",time()-3600,"/");
$_COOKIE['pass']="";
