how to unset cookie in PHP?

Question

I need to figure out how to unset this cookie. Everything I tried so far has failed.

This is how I am currently unsetting it and it doesn\'t seem to work.

Answer 1

The solution to this problem was that the I needed to set the correct path to unset the cookie since I was unsetting it from a different file that I originally set it in.

I found out which path I needed to use for the unset by looking for the cookie inside my browser cookies, and once I found the cookie inside my browser, the path was listed near the cookie. So I then set the path to the cookie like so:

setcookie("user_id", $user_id, time() - 1, "/social_learning/site_pages");

The last parameter is the path. And it worked.

My original setcookie looks like this:

setcookie("user_id", $user_id, time() + 7200, "");
