Per http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php , they provide the following example to delete a cookie:
setcookie ("TestCookie", "", time() - 3600);
Selected answer to Remove a cookie recommends the following:
setcookie('Hello', null, -1, '/');
Should it be time()-3600
, -1
, or something else?
On a side note, is a value of null
or ""
preferred?
Try this
if (isset($_COOKIE['TestCookie']))
{
// removing the cookie
unset($_COOKIE['TestCookie']);
// resetting the cookie
setcookie('TestCookie', null, -1, '/');
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
Since cookie expiration time will be checked against clients clock, the best option is:
setcookie('Hello', null, 1, '/');
Then you can make sure it will expire instantly.
Except if the clock is 00:00:00 1970-01-01 :P
