[RESOLVED] Can we reset a UID

[AJArmstron]

I am making a cart on a website using PHP using sessions.

My question is, is it possible to reset a UID?

I destroyed the session. Using session_destroy();

However, when I start a new session the UID remains the same when I want a different UID to appear.

Please can anyone help?

did you begin with session_start()

also you can unset the specific $_SESSION variable
instead/before destroy_session()

<?php

session_start(); // Necessary!

unset( $_SESSION['UID'] ); // remove, unset this specific value
// and, or .....
session_destroy(); // remove, unset all the $_SESSION array

?>

I found the solution. It is to use

session_regenerate_id();

This resets the uid which $_SESSION can store.

Just for clarification.. the session ID is referred to as the SID ("Session ID"), not the UID. 😉
