Help!

stereo

I know I asked this question before, but didn't get an understandable answer. So I'll try again.

Basically, members can login. When they login, session_register("ID"); (ID = their ID in the database) takes place. When they logout, session_destroy needs to be used. This is my code...... (I don't understand why it doesn't work!!)

$Logout = session_destroy();

if($Logout) {

	echo "You have been successfully logged out. Have a nice day :)";

} else {

	echo "Logout unsuccessful!";

}

Please help me if you can.

Thank you!

It would be helpful if you explained what you mean by "doesn't work". What results are you getting when you run it? Do you get syntax/compile errors? Does it print something other than what you are expecting?

Right-off-the-bat you are going to have a problem because you are testing the results of the session_destroy() function. This function ALWAYS returns TRUE, so there is no use in testing it.

But even so, I don't know how you would realize that the script is not working, it should always print "You have successfully logged out..."

What results are you seeing when you run the script?

are you using session_start() before you call session_destroy()? i think you might need to do that...

Im getting Logout unsuccessful!

I onlt tested it because it wasn't working. Could it be something to do with my php.ini or something?

Thanx,

Yes, im using session_start();

Are you saying that your session variables continue to live even AFTER you call session_destroy()?

im sorry =( but i really dont know what might be the problem...i know that session_destroy can be a little weird sometimes (check out the comments about it at php.net: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-destroy.php).....good luck...

That's exactly what im saying. Weird, I know! It's never happend to me before. But now that I have apache and php4 installed on my machine, the first time I call session_destroy(); it fails.
