Try setting the cookie cancellation time to something more extreme like:

setcookie( 'loginID', '', time() - 31536000 );

...this issue is vaguely familiar in that it may have something 
to do with the time(s) at server(s)/desktops(s) being out of synch and
that 
one hour set back of cookie date is not sufficient for all involved 
to see it as expired(?!)(Hunh?).

Subject: [nycphp-talk] deleting cookies

I'm having trouble getting some cookies deleted.

I'm storing login data in the session, and setting a two-week loginID 
cookie to bypass the need to login again upon later visits. The logout 
script uses the following code to destroy the session (which works) and 
to attempt to delete the session and loginID cookies. But that is not 
working, and those cookies are still alive if the user navigates away 
from the logout page to another page, so she is automatically logged 
right back in just as if she were coming back a week later.
================
session_start();
$_SESSION = array();
setcookie( session_id(), '', time() - 3600 );
session_destroy();
setcookie( 'loginID', '', time() - 3600 );
================
What am I doing wrong?
