delete_cookie()
Lets you delete a cookie. Unless you've set a custom path or other values, only the name of the cookie is needed:
delete_cookie("name");
This function is otherwise identical to set_cookie(), except that it does not have the value and expiration parameters. You can submit an array of values in the first parameter or you can set discrete parameters.
