clean up cookies

[alain dhaene]

HI,

Is there a function to clean cookies.

e.g
setcookie ("klant_cook",$this->klant_exist,time()+3600);

But during the session I want to clean this cookie.

Is this possible with this statement:

$_COOKIE['klant_cook'] = null;

Thx,

Alain

Expire it:
setcookie ("klant_cook",$this->klant_exist,time()-1);

It's all in the setcookie documentation:

When deleting a cookie you should assure that the expiration date is in the
past, to trigger the removal mechanism in your browser. Examples follow how
to delete cookies sent in previous example:

Example 2. setcookie() delete example

<?php
// set the expiration date to one hour ago
setcookie ("TestCookie", "", time() - 3600);
setcookie ("TestCookie", "", time() - 3600, "/~rasmus/", ".example.com", 1);
?>
