Does anyone know how to clear PHPSESSID?

Hi, I'm trying to clear PHPSESSID and nothing seems to work. Even after I use session_destroy(), I can call this variable and there it is!

Does anyone know how I can empty it out or at least make it reset to a new value? (I tried using session_start() again, but that didn't work).

Thanks!

Close your browser.

Do you know of any other way besides closing the browser?

Try:

$SESSION['name'] = FALSE
or
$SESSION['name'] = ''

The essence of the issue is that PHP sets a cookie on the client machine that contains the PHPSESSID variable. You can blank it out as SpanKie suggested (though I'd stick on a semicolon 😉 ) or even change it to some other value. Take a look at [man]session_name/man, or maybe even 🆒 [man]session_regenerate_id/man.
