delete_cookie()

[eluser]ci_user[/eluser]
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);

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);

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