Cookie is a file sent by a browser to the server.
If you set a cookie, you will be still unable to read it on your page,
unless you give the browser a chance to resend it to you.
To do so you'll need the user to hit or refresh a page on your site. Then,
and only then the browser will be sending the new cookie file.
Here's a little solution: since you are setting the cookie to something
(whether it is a null or value), set the variable so first, then read the
variable. So it will become available till the page ends. Then on a new hit
a new value will arrive.

Subject: Re: AW: [PHP] Kill a cookie....
Thanks to all who replied.
I am really confused as to why, at teh very top of my page, I have told the
cookie to set to null.
and then in the last part of my php, just before my head tag, I re-set teh
cookie.
but the old value still remains.
What am I doing wrong???
Thanks you guys, I'll get there in the end.

====================
