Clearing session

[Larry Martell]

Is there a way I can clear my session data from the browser? This is
for debugging when I change something. Currently no matter what I do
short of exiting the browser, my session data is always retained. This
makes testing very cumbersome.

The session data is actually stored on the server, the browser just
sends a session id in the requests it makes to the server so that the
server can access the right data.

You could clear the cookie (or URL parameter if you're using that
method), that contains the session ID, from your browser, or you could
follow the advice at
http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.session-destroy.php which explains
in a decent detail exactly how to do what you want.

Thanks for the reply, but I am aware of all that and I know about
session_destroy. I want to clear the session from the browser not from
the code.

Did you even look at the link I posted? The second paragraph quite
clearly mentions:

"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."

I had read that page before, but I missed the part about the session cookie.

Are you using a custom session handler? You shouldn't have to remove the
cookie. session_destroy should destroy the data from the server (it would
still be the same ID, but the data should not be there after the next
load). For the current load, you can do $_SESSION = array().

open a window in "anonymous navigation" in firefox is ctrl+shift+p in
chrome is ctrl+shift+n

in both cases when you close the window all the data is destroyed

Hi Larry, try this:

header("Cache-Control: max-age=0")

should prevent the caching of your page in developping.
If you are finished, set max-age to some decent value.

Thanks for the pointer. For now using the anonymous (or incognito as
chrome calls it) window is working for me.

you can also choose to clear the cookies in the browser.
Then you don't need to close the tab you're working on.

in firefox ctrl-shift-del, select (only) cookies and within which
timeframe you want deleted. Chrome probably has something alike.

afair it keeps post data.
