Setting, then destroying cookie


3raser

Recommended Posts

Here is my code that sets the cookie for a year:

 

//set a cookie for a year
setcookie('user', $username, time()+31536000);

 

My code that unsets it:

 

<?php
unset($_COOKIE['user']);

header("LOCATION:index.php");
?>

 

Why doesn't it log the user out?

Because that is not how you destroy a cookie. unset() is used to unset variables within the PHP system. The cookie exists on the user's computer. Why don't you take a look at the setcookie() manual - there is plenty of information there on how to destroy a cookie.
