Set cookie in CodeIgniter that expires at specific time

I need to set a cookie in CodeIgniter that expires at midnight on the same day it was set. According to their cookie documentation, you set the expire time in seconds; you can't provide a specific date and time.

Is there any other way to set a cookie and provide a specific date and time, or do I really need to calculate the difference in seconds from now until midnight tonight?

You have to calculate the time, which is the number of seconds until the cookie should expire. It's easier than you probably think:

$expire = strtotime('midnight') - time();

If you have the date helper loaded, replace time() with now().
