barbs75 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Ok, The problem i am having is with unsetting a SESSION. What i have is a login system, where the user can login, then go to a profile page where they can edit their info, change thier password and then cancel their account. When they go to the cancel page, they have to re-enter their password, and then this and their username is checked against the database, and if it is found, the record is deleted. The problem i am having is with my form helper. When the user enteres their password and username on the cancel page(cancelmembership.php) the form is processed in cancel.php which then generates an array to store errors in, called '$deleteerrorarray', this is then stored into a session named '$_SESSION['deleteerror_storage']' this is then retrieved when the user makes an error and is sent back to the cancelmembership.php page, and displays the error. This all works, but when they make an error, and then say, leaves this page, and comes back, the error box is still there, when they leave i want the error box to disappear. Now, i have used 'unset($_SESSION['deleteerror_storage']) after the session is used to output the error, so that it is unset, so when they leave the page and come back to it, the session shouldnt be retrievable and therefore the error box doesnt appear?!? Am i right in saying that?? 'cause it sure as hell doesnt work!! I have been trying everything, putting the unset in different places and stuff, but nothing works...really cant figure out the problem?? here is my code: cancelmembership.php <?php //starts session and checks loggin status session_start(); header("Cache-control: private"); if (!$_SESSION['username']) { include("login_form.php"); exit(); } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

BlueSkyIS Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 unset($_SESSION['deleteerror_storage']) does not destroy the session, it only unsets the session variable deleteerror_storage. you appear to destroy the session properly elsewhere in your code: //after that destroy the session $_SESSION = array(); session_destroy(); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
