Session_unset - session_destroy issue

[dealTek]

Hi all,

I am having trouble with session_destroy - session_unset and $_SESSION = array()... I am trying to STOP and destroy all session vars......


with the simple code test below I would think it would echo test 1 BUT FAIL on test2
- however it shows both for me...

how do I UNSET - DESTROY SESSIONS?


<?php


session_start();

$_SESSION['var1'] = 'test1';
echo '<br /> test1 '. $_SESSION['var1'].' ';

session_unset();
session_destroy();
$_SESSION = array();


$_SESSION['var1'] = 'test2';

echo '<br /> test2 ' . $_SESSION['var1'];



?>

The $_SESSION superglobal variable is nothing more than that. Calling session_start will populate it with an existing session, and when the request ends the contents will be stored. Once you've closed or destroyed the session it does not stop working because it's nothing more than a superglobal variable, it just won't be stored at the end of the request.
