note 69532 added to function.session-destroy

Please note that any advice to destroy a session via a command like: $_SESSION = array(); may lead to a catastrophe particularly if there is enough clout on it to induce you into believing that must be quite sound an advice - meaning with catastrophe endless nights trying to debug something elusive, because you thought that advice was authoritative. In fact, the correct way should be: $_SESSION=null; /*NULL, not array() !*/ The issue may be as follows: in order to reset the session you use $_SESSION=array() and then you call on other stuff - well, the session still EXISTS as an array, and since your other lines of codes are doing the right thing namely verifying whether (!$_SESSION), that checks invariably fails.. If for any reason you are going to reset a session using an assignement, consider using =NULL. ---- Server IP: 80.241.173.254 Probable Submitter: 84.221.75.209 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-destroy.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69532 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69532/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69532/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69532/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69532/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69532/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69532/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69532 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69532 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
