I do something like this

<?
$logouttime=time()-9999;
//sets time to a time already passed, thus deleting the cookie
setcookie("Cookiename", "valuedoesn'tmatter", $logouttime, "/");
//cookie is now gone
?>

A couple of things to realize about cookies which should answer your question:

1) They must be processed before any headers
2) They are taken care of in reverse order - thus, the last cookie listed will be the first to be taken care of.

So, I would recommend do the following on your "logout" page:

<?php
setcookie("site_user", "", time() + 14000, "/");
?>

That would make the cookie blank. I don't know if making it blank will do it or not - I am not sure if there is a way to delete a cookie or not.

Anyway, hope that helps out at least a little bit.
