How do I destroy cookies?

[Damelinks]

Goodday Everybody, I set cookie by using the codes below

<?php
$cookie_expire = time()+3600;
$cookie_name = "users";
$cookie_value = "$_POST[f_name] $_POST[s_name]";
$ret = setcookie('users', $cookie_value, $cookie_expire, "/");if (!
$ret)
{
echo "Unable ot set cookie";


}


?>

and the cookie was actually set and are working as espected but I am
trying to destroy the cookie using the codes below.


<?php
setcookie('users', 'NULL', mktime()-10000, '/');
?>


but it is not destroying the cookies. Please I need your help
because
I am using the cookies for users authentation.

Actually, i designed the website with my laptop and the cookie is
working very well there. But when I took the website to a desktop,
the cookies will set but refuse to destroy and I am using the cookie
for users authentation.

Thanks

To destroy cookies:
setcookie("mycookie","",time()-3600);

where "mycookie" is the name your cookie

Hope it helps

Hi !
There is another way to deal with that,to delete it completely you
should unset it like :

unset($_COOKIE["mycookie"]);

However; the setcookie("mycookie","",time()-3600); of Mr.Ricardo
Matos, will leave it empty !

<?php
setcookie('user','',time()-3600);
unset($_COOKIE['user']);
?>
