Sessions not deleting

[Anon]

Ok how do I get around this problem.

I'm killing sessions using session_destroy().

This removes all evidence of the session on the server and clear's all the variables in the client's cookie, BUT it doesn't delete the cookie. Anybody know why not and how do I get it to delete the cookie?

Thanks.

ok so I re-read the manual and it makes more sense today. Session_destroy() get's rid of data associated with the session, but not the session.

My scripts check for the presence of $PHPSESSID, and if it exists they don't set any variables(this way variables already set don't get accidentally cleared). So if someone logs out of my site (and I perform a destroy) and then they log back in, it shows the same session id, but no variables. Which as you may guess isn't terribly handy.

Anybody know how I could get around this?

Solved it! The answer was sooooo simple.
After checking for the presence of the session I then check for the presence of the session variables. So it goes:

session_start();
if (!$PHPSESSID) {
session_register("x");
session_register("y");
session_register("z");
} else {
if ((!$x) && (!$y) && (!$z)) {
session_register("x");
session_register("y");
session_register("z");
}
$code = $z;
}

How easy was that?!

hope this helps someone.
