Hi,
Thank you for your replies. I am using version 4.3.3 yet unset() doesn't
seem to work. To test this I have placed this line of code in my footer.php
file that appears at the bottom of every page:
echo 'load_orderinfo() = '.load_orderinfo();
Here is the load_orderinfo() function:
function load_orderinfo() {
global $_SESSION;
if (empty($_SESSION["orderinfo"])) {
return false;
} else {
return $_SESSION["orderinfo"];
}
}
Before the $_SESSION["orderinfo"] is created the output in the footer reads:
load_orderinfo() =
When it has been created it reads:
load_orderinfo() = Object;
On the complete_order.php page where I call the clear_orderinfo() function
it goes back to:
load_orderinfo() =
but it on any subsequent page the output returns to:
load_orderinfo() = Object;
But after calling the clear_orderinfo() function surely the
$_SESSION["orderinfo"] should have been destroyed. I hope this makes sense!
Thanks for your help
