Session destroy

[Anon]

Hi there, I'm finding the way to destroy the session when I want to exit the program, I will do some authencation checking(using session) every page in this program, so after I had exit this program, if I want to start it again(without closing the browser and input any page's url),I want the program to authencate me again, how can I do this?

LQH,
I think there is a bug or something with session_destroy() function. I've tried using it numerous times to no avail. At the moment I normally just unregister the variables and that sort of works, but it doesn't get rid of the file on the server.

If anyone else has any deas on this, please share.

Hope that helps,

Jord

I'm struggling with a similar problem right now. My problem seems to be that the PHPSESSID cookie stays on the client after I want it to be gone. Like Jord, I have found session_unregister() to be useful. Using session_destroy() is problematic for me because users might leave without explicitly logging out (I can't session_destroy on every page).

I use this to check current cookies and sessions:

//this will show you all the current cookies
echo "<hr>HTTP_COOKIE_VARS<p>";
While (list($key,$val) = each($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS))
{
echo "The <strong>" . $key . "</strong> cookie is set to : " . $val . "<p>";
}

//this will show you all the stored session variables
echo "<hr><strong>HTTP_SESSION_VARS</strong><p>";
While (list($key,$val) = each($HTTP_SESSION_VARS))
{
echo "The <strong>" . $key . "</strong> session variable is set to : " . $val . "<p>";
}
