justinh Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hey everyone, Im having a hard time with my logout page. <?php session_start(); session_destroy(); echo $_SESSION['loggedin']; //I put this in just to see what the problem was echo "Log out complete. Click <a href=\"login.php\">here</a> to return to login."; ?> When I echo the session "loggedin" it is still returning true, even after i put session_destroy.. Thanks in advance Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129513-sessions-issue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Read the manual:session_destroy In order to kill the session altogether, like to log the user out, the session id must also be unset. The very first example explains a method of how to properly destroy a session.

sKunKbad Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 instead of session_destroy, you might try unset($_SESSION) or $_SESSION[whatever] = null; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129513-sessions-issue/#findComment-671491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinh Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Awesome, thank you very much for your quick response. I now have the code set to <?php session_start(); unset($_SESSION['loggedin']); session_destroy(); echo $_SESSION['loggedin']; echo "Log out complete. Click <a href=\"login.php\">here</a> to return to login."; ?> Now the echo doesn't show up, so im thinking it's a step in the right direction. But now when i go back to login.php ( code below ) <html> <head> </head> <body> <form action="checklogin.php" method="post"> <table> <tr> <td>Username:</td><td><input type="text" name="username"></td> </tr><tr> <td>Password:</td><td><input type="password" name="password"></td> </tr><tr><td><input type="submit" value="Log In"></td></tr> </tr> </table> </body> </html> ?> and skip the login and just type mydomain.com/index.php it still says im logged in here is the code so far on the index page. <?php session_start(); include("connect.php"); if ($_SESSION['loggedin'] = "true"){ echo $_SESSION['loggedin']; ?> <html> <head> </head> <body> <a href="logout.php">Logout</a> </body> </html> <? } else { echo "you must be logged in too view this page. Click <a href=\"login.php\">here</a> to log in."; } ?> Any ideas? MJDAMATO FOR PRESIDENT!

CroNiX Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 As mentioned above, unset the whole $_SESSION array, not just one element. unset($_SESSION); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129513-sessions-issue/#findComment-671496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Also, when you return back tothe index page, you might be viewign a cached page. Try refreshing to see what happens.

ranjuvs Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 change this line if ($_SESSION['loggedin'] = "true"){ to if ($_SESSION['loggedin'] == "true"){ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129513-sessions-issue/#findComment-671501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinh Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hmm.. I tried <?php session_start(); unset($_SESSION); session_destroy(); echo $_SESSION['loggedin']; echo "Log out complete. Click <a href=\"login.php\">here</a> to return to login."; ?> ( I think this is what you were saying Cronix ) But it still has the same results. Mjdamato: tried refreshing.. same result =/ www.wmptest.com/Wmptime/login.php username: justinh pass: dallas If you want to see what I'm talking about. Anything else it could be?
