cookie expiration is not working....

.oO(msa)

I have the following code for my cookie, on the login page:
[...]
setcookie("acCookie",$HTTP_POST_VARS['UserName'],time() + 7200,"/");
setcookie("levelCookie",$row_rsLogin['UserAccess'],time() + 7200,"/");
[...]

I would like the cookie to expire upon closing the browser....but it doesn't
work. (php/MySQL)

For session cookies don't set an expire time (it's currently set two
hours = 7.200s ahead). The third parameter of setcookie() specifies the
expire time, leave it empty or set it to 0 if you need to set the fourth
parameter.

why why why????

thanks thanks thanks!!!

I have the following code for my cookie, on the login page:

if($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']=="login"){
if($totalRows_rsLogin==0){
$errorMessage = "Your login information is incorrect. Please try again.";
mysql_free_result($rsLogin);
} else {
mysql_free_result($rsLogin);
setcookie("acCookie",$HTTP_POST_VARS['UserName'],time() + 7200,"/");
setcookie("levelCookie",$row_rsLogin['UserAccess'],time() + 7200,"/");
// Expire Date: 0
// Expire Time: 00:00:00
header("Location: secure/sales.php");
}
