delete_cookie() - El Forum - 06-27-2012

I'm trying to delete cookies on logout without success... any suggestions? My code is:
Code:
function logout(){
$this->load->helper('cookie');
delete_cookie('csrf_cookie_security');
delete_cookie('anothercookie');
$this->session->sess_destroy();
$this->output->set_header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, no-transform, max-age=0, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
$this->output->set_header("Pragma: no-cache");

To delete a cookie the time has to be in the pass the cookie helper does not set an expire time.
You can use this which should work
Code:
// set the expiration date to - the cookie time
setcookie('csrf_cookie_security', '', time()-31500000);delete_cookie() - El Forum - 06-27-2012

I tried both without success. I thought set_cookie creates a cookie, not updates an existing cookie?
Code:
setcookie('csrf_cookie_security', '', time()-31500000);Also tried this which I believe is the CI way to set a cookie.
Code:
set_cookie('csrf_cookie_security', '', time()-31500000);Neither one deleted the cookie... It is frustrating that delete_cookie() won't work if there is no expiration set.

Setcookie is used for all of the cookies methods the difference is in the time see the -31500000
A cookie is deleted when the time has expired so by setting the time()-31500000 sets the cookie to expired.
Which deletes it.

I have tried what you said and when I try to logout the cookie's life doesn't get adjusted. Any ideas?
Code:
// set the expiration date to - the cookie time
$this->input->set_cookie('rmt', '', time()-315000000);delete_cookie() - El Forum - 12-20-2012

Answered my own question....all I had to do was set $config['cookie_domain'] = ".www.yoursite.com";
