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

This did the trick for me:

setcookie("brownie","",1,'/');
unset($_COOKIE["brownie"]);

Answer 2

I'm surprised no one has posted this yet, but this works perfectly for me:

To CREATE or CHANGE cookie by name:

$_COOKIE['myCookieName'] = 'I can be changed to whatever u want';

To DELETE a cookie by name:

unset($_COOKIE['myCookieName']);

Answer 3

Happens to me as well one in ten times though. I guess its a problem with the way we code.

This is my code

setcookie("token", "", time() - 36000, "/");

Answer 4

set a cookie

setcookie('cookiename', $cookie_value, time() + (86400 * 30), "/"); // 86400 = 1 day

unset cookie

setcookie('cookiename', '', time() - 3600, "/");

No need to panic. Just copy function you use to set cookie and now minus the time. Do not get confuse, make it easy and clear.

Answer 5

I sugest to using

ob_start();

Answer 6

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.
