RE: Sessions

Nice day here in the UK thanks but still having major problems with sessions. Please note that I can maintain the value of my session variables between web pages. However, the problem I have is that I can't kill (destroy) the session once I'm finished with it. If I issue a "session_destroy()" command on the same web page that first created the session then the contents of the session file on the server is emptied (file size 0 bytes). However, if I attempt to destroy the session on another page then the session file isn't emptied and still contains the variable values. Using "session_unset" before the "session_destroy()" command doesn't help. I tried your example code below and it DIDN'T print the SID. Whenever and however I tried to print SID it never returns a value. However, using session_id() instead works fine and produces the same results as your script. Is this a cause of concern? Any help on killing sessions with PHP (I'm running the latest version - binary downloaded from PHP website) will be greatly appreciated. I'm running on NT 2000 and Apache.

" (from php.net) // the <?=SID?> is wrong!! to send the SID via get in the URI is 'ugly' and perhaps Daniel Beulshausen [daniel@php4win.de] is able to fix that ?? I think at the moment it only works via URI cu Klaus Schmidt Bad Schwartau, Germany
