Session will not unset

[mhague]

Hi,
I am fairly new to sessions. I have no trouble setting the session with:

$_SESSION['ucinetid']=$returned_ucinetid;

but I cannot unset it. Here is my 'logout' code:

session_start();
$ucinetid=$SESSION['ucinetid'];
unset($SESSION['ucinetid']);
session_destroy();

The $ucinetid variable still persists in subsequent scripts after the above code. This seems like it should work, no? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help, this is driving me nuts!

just to be clear: $ucinetid is a global variable, and as such it will exist thru the script's execution even after you destroy your session. you can always [man]unset[/man] if you wish.

It still seems to exist after I perform unset($ucinetid) as well. I'm just not getting this. Marcie
