Hey .

I am working on a loggin system built on setting cookies for users ,
setcookie(Username, Value, time()+300);
//Cookie Ends after 5 Minutes

and now i want to logout this user so i used to delete the cookie
setcookie(Username, Value, mktime(12,0,0,1, 1, 1990));
//Cookie will end at past time so it will be deleted immediatly

so after all of that , the cookie still exist i dont know what to do

please any one help me

I recall there being a simpler way to reset or delete cookies. If you google this topic, you will find that you should be able to reset a cookie by simply specifying it name only.

(Toggle Plain Text)

setcookie("test");

That code would reset the cookie named test to basicly nothing.

[php]setcookie("cookiename", "", time()-300);[/php]
