Becarful using this if you are trying to switch out of an existing session rather than load one into a clean slate. session_decode doesn't destroy the existing session data, it will over write it if there is a session variable of the same name, but if the names don't clash the existing session variables will hang around. I have yet to find a better solution than session_destroy() session_start() session_decode(....); ----------------------------------------- To explain what I'm talking about <? session_start(); $a = 5; session_register('a'); session_decode("<session that doesn't have a as a session variable>"); print (session_is_registered('a') ? $a : 'Not Registered' ); ?> The above code will print '5' as $a hasn't been destroyed or even unregistered by the session_decode ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-decode.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41187 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41187&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41187&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
