Re: [PHP] Unsetting Session Variables
Are you doing a session_start() on the page you are unsetting on? Timothy Hitchens (HiTCHO) [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you need PHP hosting with an experienced support team 24/7 then email me today.

I am having problems unsetting Session Variables - where I know it
should work.
I have a form. It contains both links with GET variables, and also a
POST form. They all go to the same next page.
Page 2 simply clears all session variables, and then sets them based
upon the contents of the GET or POST array. It then calls page 3 which
displays information based on the SESSION variable contents.
My problem is that a session variable does not seem to unset. I am
using:
unset ($_SESSION['variablename']);
But this does not seem to destroy the session variable. (it is still
available later in other scripts)
What can I do?
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!
Mike

RE: [PHP] Unsetting Session Variables
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?

Yes, that's my interpretation, too -- but if doing the wrong thing gets
the right answer, go for it! (Just be aware it might be different in 4.3!)

Re: [PHP] Unsetting Session Variables
I have noticed this behavior before, and I find it very inconsistent.
Does anybody know if this
is going to be fixed?

Re: [PHP] Unsetting Session Variables
I can't say that I've noticed this in 4.2.3. I just wrote an application
where all I used was $_SESSION and unset() and it worked perfectly.
