Re: Session not destroying properly

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried that and it still doesn't seem to be working. Here's what i've got so far on my page (index.php). <?PHP if(session_is_registered("CUserName")) { session_destroy(); unset($CUserName); header("Location: $PHP_SELF"); } else { session_register("CUserName"); $CUserNameSession="CUserName"; } //SNIP ?> Hope you can see something I don't.
