you can destroy the cookie by closing the browser if you set the cookie through javascript.

You can use PHP and javascript together.I have never thought of solving your problem in PHP.

i figured out a javascript to use with php, but here agn i am not sure where to place the code for erasing the cookies. also in my page there are links to other pages, so everytime i click on any link, the message pops up. how cn i avoid that?
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  
  2. <html>
  3. <body>
  4.  
  5. <script language="JavaScript">
  6. var needToConfirm = true;
  7.  
  8. window.onbeforeunload = confirmExit;
  9. function confirmExit()
  10. {
  11.         if (needToConfirm)
  12.                 return "Are you sure you want to exit?";
  13. }
  14. </script>

if the cookie is set with time=0 it will expire when the browser is closed.
setcookie("name", "value", 0);
