You can unset the $_cookie array.

Checkout this thread too: Cookies aren't deleting [webmasterworld.com]

unset also not working

[mustdownloads]

i am using this

unset($_COOKIE['siteuser']);

[Habtom]

This should work:

$_COOKIE = array();

Hab

sorry tried not working

There are a few JS ways of deleting cookies. You need to search [google.com] webmasterworld threads to find a way to do those. You can start here [google.com]

You will surely find a way to do it, or find out the errors you are making by checking those threads.

If you can't delete them, you can always eat them. :)

how are you testing whether it is deleted?

I believe you have to refresh or go to a new page to test properly since you are using setcookie

[php.net...]

check out the "common pitfalls"

Sometimes cookie is hard to delete if no "domain" parameter specified.

Also make sure that you aren't re-adding the cookie elsewhere in your script (I've run into that problem before).
