    This function is quite handy when it comes to expiring session cookies... since Session cookies don't automatically get destroyed (see the session_destroy page).

    For instance, here's what I plan to use to expire session cookies:

        $CookieInfo = session_get_cookie_params();
        if ( (empty($CookieInfo['domain'])) && (empty($CookieInfo['secure'])) ) {
            setcookie(session_name(), '', time()-3600, $CookieInfo['path']);
        } elseif (empty($CookieInfo['secure'])) {
            setcookie(session_name(), '', time()-3600, $CookieInfo['path'], $CookieInfo['domain']);
        } else {
            setcookie(session_name(), '', time()-3600, $CookieInfo['path'], $CookieInfo['domain'], $CookieInfo['secure']);
        }
        session_destroy();

    It doesn't check to see if the path part of the session cookie is set because the defaults in php.ini have this set already, unlike domain and secure.

    Try also
    * INI_Get('session.cookie_lifetime')
    * INI_Get('session.cookie_path')
    * INI_Get('session.cookie_domain')
    * INI_Get('session.cookie_secure')
    * INI_Get('session.cookie_httponly')
    separately instead of session_Get_Cookie_Params().

    Additionally there is a "bug" - session.cookie_lifetime is mentioned twice in the description.
