Two PHPSESSID cookies is being set for some users

Question

On some browsers, we have two PHPSESSIDs.

One PHPSESSID is not set by me anywhere in my script
It has HOST (instead of DOMAIN for the PHPSESSID I set) as www.mywebsite.com
I have tried deleting it using setcookie: setcookie ("PHPSESSID", $_COOKIE['PHPSESSID'], time() - 864000, '/', 'www.mywebsite.com'); but this fails.
An attempt to delete cookie using: setcookie ("PHPSESSID", $_COOKIE['PHPSESSID'], time() - 864000, '/'); results in the PHPSESSID I set being deleted.
I have tried using session_name to rename the SESSION I set. This works but crashed my server severally after some minutes.

As a result of the double PHPSESSID, some users cannot login.

How do I fix this as I am out of options.

@Ogugua Same like your previous question, you are not giving the proper description how your login is related to `PHPSESSID` and how 2 `PHPSESSID` impacts one another. Someone can better solve your problem, if you do so! — Tᴀʀᴇǫ Mᴀʜᴍᴏᴏᴅ, Dec 15 '15 at 06:33

This may not solve my problem. Remember, I need one of the PHPSESSID cookies for login to work properly. – Ogugua Belonwu Dec 03 '15 at 22:12
