Session not unsetting

[zimmo]

I have a shopping cart, and I am using a php session to track the basket. All works fine, the only problem I have is completely removing the session once the order is placed.

 

The user places the order, goes through the process and then once complete are sent back to a page called order complete. I have placed the following at the very top of this file:

 

 

session_start();

session_unset();

session_destroy();

 

At first it looks as if the session is destroyed, but when I add an item to the basket it pulls up the item I previously ordered. Is the above the correct way? The session is only the sid?

Try re-directing them immediately to another page where you have session_set() and then session_destroy() at the top of that page to totally wipe out the session.

[AbraCadaver]

unset($_SESSION);
//or
$_SESSION = array();

When you destroy a session, it will still show up, UNTIL you reload the page. The reason for this, is that the script gets all of the session variables when "session_start()" is called. Use Cadaver's post to unset the variables for the page you destroyed the session on.
