HTTP_AUTH log out

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I have script to logout a user but I've realized that if after logging out a user can go back in the same browser and view restricted files. This script works only if the user closses the browser window. Any ideas?

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) {
echo "Your username is ".$_SESSION['user_id'].".<br>";
session_destroy();
echo "Your username is still ".$_SESSION['user_id'].".<br>";
$_SESSION = array();
echo "You are now logged out!";
}
?>

In order to kill the session altogether' date=' like to log the user out, the session id must also be unset. If a cookie is used to propagate the session id (default behavior), then the session cookie must be deleted. setcookie() may be used for that.[/quote']

 

<?php
// Initialize the session.
// If you are using session_name("something"), don't forget it now!
session_start();

// Unset all of the session variables.
$_SESSION = array();

// If it's desired to kill the session, also delete the session cookie.
// Note: This will destroy the session, and not just the session data!
if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) {
    setcookie(session_name(), '', time()-42000, '/');
}

// Finally, destroy the session.
session_destroy();
?>
