Is CI setting new cookies to expire yesterday?

https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter/issues/4904

It's not ideal or obvious, but for a work around, we can add an explicit zero for the expiration time like this:

PHP Code:

$this->input->set_cookie('XDEBUG_PROFILE', $set, 0); 


Actually, that is ideal, at least as far as what you meant goes ... Because it's explicit, and I've learned the hard way - being explicit is always better.

The reason why this bug could ever happen is that we have default parameter values at all. If I was designing this today, you'd be always required to explicitly specify the first 3 parameters, but this goes waaaay back in history, before I ever got involved.

What's not ideal is that you don't need to use CI_Input or anything within CodeIgniter to set a cookie. Honestly, there's zero benefit to that; just use setcookie().
