"Cookies must be deleted with the same parameters as they were set with. If the value
argument is an empty string (""), and ALL OTHER ARGUMENTS match a previous call
to setcookie, then the cookie with the specified name will be deleted from the remote
client."
Also from the PHP manual:
"Cookies will not become visible until the next loading of a page that the cookie
should
be visible for."
Don't know if the second snippet bears on your problem, but it might be worth
considering.
Do you specifically need to use cookies for some reason? If you don't, consider using
session variables. (Session variables involve cookies, but they're all set and removed
automatically by PHP without your having to worry about it.)
Lastly, do you have some kind of firewall running on the machine on which you're
testing your scripts? ZoneAlarm, for example, does all sorts of weird things to PHP
sessions, and since sessions often depend on cookies, who knows? I really don't
understand very well how firewalls interact with Apache/PHP, but this is definitely
something else worth considering.
Good luck,
Erik
