I’ll preface by saying I’m relatively new to CodeIgniter, so I could just be doing something wrong.

I’m calling $this->session->sess_destroy(); before any output; However, throughout the same page load I can still call $this->session->userdata(‘id’); and get the ‘correct’ information back. If I use $this->session->unset_userdata(‘id’); instead of sess_destroy(); everything works as I would expect and I get no data returned.

This is for a user logout and should therefore unset all userdata before continuing with the output. Is this not possible with CI sessions? To be honest, I’m not entirely convinced I should be using them over standard $_SESSION

Thanks in advance for any help / advice.

[Edit] This is Chrome 22 on Ubuntu 12.04

Use [ code ][ /code ] tags to insert your code.

I usually use like this:

Hope it helps!

Also you can control user do not go back after logout.

So a redirect is required? I’ve tested and it certainly works around the problem. Hmm. Thanks for the pointer - it wasn’t expected behaviour.

Al least all my time programming with CI I’ve used always redirect after $this->session->destroy()

Glad it helps dude!

A redirect is required because the session (native php) only is destroyed by the next request.

Add this in your constructor:
