PHP 4.2.2
Register Globals Off
Using only $_SESSION
No session_register() calls at all

Interestingly enough, doing session_unregister('variablename') *in*
*addition* does work (although I am sure it shouldn't)
session_write_close() does not help

Any suggestions?

PHP version?  register_globals on or off?  Using only $_SESSION, or are
there any session_register() calls?

All of these can affect what you have to do to destroy session values,
but...

Have you tried doing session_unregister('variablename') *in* *addition*?

Does session_write_close() help?

Cheers!
