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

Sometimes you saved the cookie in a different path than you're trying to delete/uset it in.

Go into eg. Chrome cookie settings and check the cookie path, then add the path to the setcookie command, and delete it like this:

setcookie( "my_cookie_name","",1,'/mypath');

Trying to delete or unset a cookie that is saved in the wrong path will not work and can be very frustrating.
