Hi,
I use php 4.2.3 with session.auto_start = 1 in php.ini What I use with URL session : $_SESSION= array(); unset($_GET[session_name()]); session_destroy(); Header("Location: next_script.php"); with cookie session : $cook_param= session_get_cookie_params(); $life_time= $cook_param['lifetime']; $path= $cook_param['path']; setcookie(session_name(),"",$life_time,$path); $_SESSION= array(); session_destroy(); mb Jonathan Sharp wrote: > > Ok, here is my solution: > > I wanted this to be as self contained as possible: > > function clean() > { > /* get name of session & find session id */ > $name = ini_get('session.name'); > $sessid = ( !$_COOKIE[$name] ? > ( !$_GET[$name] ? > ( !$_POST[$name] ? false : $_POST[$name] ) : > $_GET[$name] ) : > $_COOKIE[$name] ); > > /* run query now to see if sesion is expired, if yes */ > unset( $_COOKIE[$name] ); > unset( $_GET[$name] ); > unset( $_POST[$name] ); > unset( $_REQUEST[$name] ); > } > > clean(); > session_start(); > > Since _COOKIE/etc needs to be UNSET before session_start is called and > re-calling session_start does sqat, the above code (not all of it but > general idea) 'finds' the session id (session_id() has no effect until > session_start is called) and tests to see if it's expired, if so, it > 'kills' all possible locations for session_start() to find an id. > > *simple*...
