You should take a look at php.net setcookie remarks from users. There
are other unusual caveats both for Firefox (doesn't like blank/empty
string value in setcookie func) and IE (7?) has issues with how a
setcookie time is set in the past. There are apparently one or two
tricks for expiring a cookie with a bole an value rather than past date,
maybe. Meanwhile, are you sure have named your cookie intended to be
expired correctly? Is there an issue/difference in double quotes vs
single quotes in setcookie func? If you are hiding PHP errors then are u
sure that you expire cookie effort is in a valid area of the output and
that there is not somewhere in front of the expire call some output
already?

This sounds promising; it is quite true that there is often a time 
disparity between the server (which may be geographically distant) and 
the client. But it still doesn't work.
