Re: session_id and cookie settings

Firs of all I think it would be easier to conult PHP Help before posting. Quoting from PHP Help - function session_destroy(): " mcknight@chek.com (18-Jan-2002 02:26) When users log in and out of your site they will keep the original session you have set for them. if you need to have this change on each login then you should use the setcookie function to remove the session id on each logout. for instance: //remove the local session session_destroy(); //remove the client session setcookie("SES_NAME","","","/"); //redirect user with header header("somewhere"); exit; " Also from PHP Help: "session_destroy() destroys all of the data associated with the current session. It does not unset any of the global variables associated with the session, or unset the session cookie."
