Problems deleting cookies, won't unset

Question

I\'ve tried searching the php manual and internet on how to delete cookies and I\'ve tried it the exact same way they all say:

setcookie(\"name\", \'\', 1);
         


        

Answer 1

If you delete cookie for the specific path and your path parameter ends with the trailing slash '/' then it will work in Firefox and IE, but won't work in Chrome and Opera. If there is no trailing slash then it will only work in Chrome and Opera.

So you should use both:

setcookie('cookiename', '', time() - 60*60*24, $chatPath); // WebKit
setcookie('cookiename', '', time() - 60*60*24, $chatPath . '/'); // Gecko, IE
