PHP Sessions

[kinadian]

I am attempting to use sessions to allow users to login into my site (to post comments for now, may be future enhancements). I am using PHP's sessions functions (session_start, session_register, etc).

Everything works fine, until I try to log out.

I have a login script. After successfully logging in, it displays a link to a logout script (since I'm only testing right now).

When I open the logout script I get a parse error:

"Warning: Trying to destroy uninitialized session in /var/www/html/logout.php on line 8"

I assume this is because I'm using two different files. Is there a way I can pass a session between scripts so that I can use a separate script to logout? Or do I need to have it all done in one script? If it needs to be one, then how will this work once I want users to do more than just write comments on my site?

I don't have much experience with sessions but it sounds like the sessid isn't getting passed to your logout script. There's some php.ini stuff that deals with that (but I don't know what it is, sorry). Are you allowing cookies? If not you might have to pass the sessid on the url with something like <a href="logout.php?<?=SID?>">.

It's a shot in the dark, hope it helps.
