I've recently been learning about cookies myself, and had the same problem
with vs. 0 (PHP FastEasy Web Development showed the in their book).
I know that setting the expire parameter to 0 is supposed to kill the cookie
when browser is closed, but I can't seem to make that happen. I've closed
all browser windows and the mail client, opened a browser again, and the
cookie is still active (let's me get back to a protected page). Only a
full reboot seem to totally clear the cookie.
I've been using the time function instead, which is fine, but I'm just
curious why 0 doesn't seem to work. Is there something else besides the
browser that could be holding onto the cookie? I tried closing MSN
Messenger just in case, but it didn't make a difference.

Subject: RE: [PHP] Can't set a cookie? [SOLVED]
Thanks for your help Everyone =)
I needed the 3rd parameter set in order to specify the fourth /, because
the cookie is being set by a script located in a sub-directory. One of
the
old documents I read said would work as the third parameter - and it
did
on my old servers. Setting the third parameter to 0 worked on all
servers.

The 3rd parameter is an optional time to expire parameter, if you don't
want
to set it, leave it out. setcookie(cookiename,value); works fine
