hi, i have $this->session->set_userdata(‘user_id’, ‘ID1’);
then i want to logout and used $this->session->sess_destroy();
but to my surprise $this->session->set_userdata(‘user_id’, ‘ID1’) still exist
based on this http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/sessions.html it should destroy all

Sigh.
As I said (and this is the third time), sess_destroy() doesn't erase the user_data array.
I know it says that. But it doesn't. And it never did.

Ok - I did read the manual, and I started out using $this->session->sess_destroy() and that didn't work so I came here and found this post. Tried unset($this->session->userdata) but that didn't kill my session either. What I ended up doing is killing each session variable individually:
$this->session->unset_userdata('username');
$this->session->unset_userdata('userid');
$this->session->unset_userdata('useremail');
...
To do this quickly you could loop through the session array, turning each one off as you loop.
This was the only way I found to kill my session.

sess_destroy() does destroy the session, but it doesn't reset already loaded data.
Ideally, after you destroy the session, you should do a redirect and not continue.

Right - I do a redirect with a refresh and all works fine. I'll try sess_destroy(). Thanks.

If you really want to delete the entire session, and not leave anything behind, you can use php's setcookie() function.
Code:
<?php
setcookie( config_item('sess_cookie_name'), '', time() - 3600 );This would delete the entire session cookie. Remember, you are not limited to CodeIgniter when using CodeIgniter, it's just a framework.
Actually, if you already use the cookie helper, you can just use:
Code:
delete_cookie( config_item('sess_cookie_name') );
