[Resolved] [Resolved] cant destroy session

[owaring]

Warning: session_destroy() [function.session-destroy]: Trying to destroy uninitialized session in

i have a log in script that initiates a PHP Session

I have a file that purely echoes PHPSESSID so in can check if a session is active.

I have another file that purely contains session_destroy();

log in script works fine and starts session. (proved by sess id echoeing file)

when i try to destroy session i get

Warning: session_destroy() [function.session-destroy]: Trying to destroy uninitialized session

which makes no sense because if there was no session active then i would have no session id.

after running this the session is still running,

any ideas or tips?

that's your problem. you must call [man]session_start[/man] on every page that uses sessions (even a page that destroys them).

oh....

i was under the impression that session_start only had to be run once

ie from then on in a session was running, until destroyed

thanks for the lesson!!!

yes, once per script execution. in your scenario there are 2 script executions.
