clean up cookies

[alain dhaene]

HI,

Is there a function to clean cookies.

e.g
setcookie ("klant_cook",$ this->klant_exist,ti me()+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,ti me()-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.c om", 1);
?>
