Topic: PHP Session Control

I need to figure out the code for deleting the session information in my tmp folder when a user logs out. The code I've generated ends the session successfully but it's not deleting the information.

Here is my code:

<?php

if (isset($_SESSION['MM_UserGroup'])){
//unset session variable
unset($_SESSION['MM_UserGroup']);
//end session
session_destroy();
}
if (isset($_SESSION['MM_Username'])){
//unset session variable
unset($_SESSION['MM_Username']);
//end session
session_destroy();
}
?>

I am using CS4 but used the Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8 as a reference to build my site.

Anyone's help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi, i was checking out some books and saw this topic.

I've been working with sessions lately and as far as i know the first thing you have to do is recover the current session with session_start() and also call to session_unset() and session_destroy() only once.

this is a sample code of what i use to script a log out:

 
<?php

if(isset($_POST['logout'])){
session_start();
session_unset();
session_destroy();
header("Location:../index.html");
}
?>

i use session_unset() alone to delete all the session variables but if you specify which data to delete it should work as well.

Cheers.
