以下代码可以在php5.20的linux源码包中ext/standard/head.c第99行附近找到:
if (value && value_len == 0) {
/*
* MSIE doesn't delete a cookie when you set it to a null value
* so in order to force cookies to be deleted, even on MSIE, we
* pick an expiry date 1 year and 1 second in the past
*/
time_t t = time(NULL) - 31536001;
dt = php_format_date("D, d-M-Y H:i:s T", sizeof("D, d-M-Y H:i:s T")-1, t, 0 TSRMLS_CC);
sprintf(cookie, "Set-Cookie: %s=deleted; expires=%s", name, dt);
efree(dt);
} else {
sprintf(cookie, "Set-Cookie: %s=%s", name, value ? encoded_value : "");
if (expires > 0) {
strcat(cookie, "; expires=");
dt = php_format_date("D, d-M-Y H:i:s T", sizeof("D, d-M-Y H:i:s T")-1, expires, 0 TSRMLS_CC);
strcat(cookie, dt);
efree(dt);
}
}
