Hi i have a problem trying to kill a cookie session below is the codes i create the cookie

function GetCartId()
{
// This function will generate an encrypted string and
// will set it as a cookie using set_cookie. This will
// also be used as the cookieId field in the cart table

if(isset($_COOKIE["cartId"]))
{
return $_COOKIE["cartId"];
}
else
{
// There is no cookie set. We will set the cookie
// and return the value of the users session ID

session_start();
setcookie("cartId", session_id(), time() + ((3600 * 24) * 30));
return session_id();
}
}

Try this:

Code: Select all

setcookie("cartId", "", time() - 3600, "/");

do you think its the
return session_id();
causing the problem?
