destroying session

[smalcat]

This one is tricky. Is it possible to destroy all sessions but not on the client side but on the serverside!

Any help much apprechiated

session_destroy() deletes the file associated with the current session on the server if you are using the default PHP session handler.

NO!!

I want to destroy session from diferent client. 😃

I don't understand. Your explanation is very unclear.

Using the default file based session handler makes it very hard to manipulate sessions from other clients, so it sounds like you will need to use a db-based session handler, that way you can easily manipulate the session from any client you want.

Thanks.

I was afraid i would have to go to db based handler. I was just wondering if there is an easyer way to destroy ALL sessions.

As i said thanks again

If you want to destroy ALL sessions you can do it by deleting the contents of the directory where the session files are stored.

You could try something like this -

<?php 
$path_to_sessions = '/tmp/';

if ($handle = opendir($path_to_sessions)) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
        if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && !is_dir($path_to_sessions.$file)) { 
            unlink($path_to_sessions.$file); 
        } 
    }
    closedir($handle); 
}
?>

Be careful to get the directory correct.
