Session->destroy doesn't work when using Flash-sessions. - El Forum - 08-16-2009

Why ALL the sessions stay alive when i execute the following code?
ALL SESSIONS STAY ALIVE??
Code:
function signout() {
// destroy all sessions (username and password)
$this->session->sess_destroy();
// set user message
$this->session->set_flashdata('msg', 'Succesfully signed out.');
// Redirect to signin page
redirect('');
}If i don't set the flash message the code works perfect, and all sessions get destroyed. But cannot report to user
ALL SESSIONS DESTROY SUCCESFULLY
Code:
function signout() {
// destroy all sessions (username and password)
$this->session->sess_destroy();
// Redirect to signin page
redirect('');

I think what's happening is that destroy sets an empty cookie but you're resetting it before it's sent (empty) along with the headers. That's why sess_destroy() needs to be called last.
Instead of trying to blow everything away, how about selectively clearing your user session data with unset_userdata()?

Thanks Wabu, works like a charm now.
The only problem now is that i have to remember to unset all the sessions manually when i sign-out. Is it possible to loop trough all session items and unset them??
CURRENT CODE
Code:
function signout() {
// destroy all sessions
$account_data = array(
'account_id'=>'', 'username'=>'', 'password'=>'', 'email'=>''
);
$this->session->set_userdata($account_data);
// set user message
$this->session->set_flashdata('msg', 'Succesfully signed out.');
// Redirect to signin page
redirect('');
}
