Cant open a new session

[Michael]

I am trying to close and destroy the current session and open a new one but it wont give the client a new session id.


session_destroy();

session_id(md5(uniqid(rand(),true)).time ());


I have also tried it by redirecting to the front page again without trying to set a session on this page. It just never sets a new one unless I close the browser and open a new one.

I dunno... Try:

session_id(md5(uniqid(rand(),true)).time());

session_unset();

session_destroy();

Thanks for the help.
I think I have figured this out.

The session cookie was not being cleared.
I used,

if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) {
setcookie(session_name(), '', time()-42000, '/');
}

session_destroy();

and then forwarded it back to a the front page where a new session is made, it works.

Cool!

I was just guessing, based on my experience with other things. It's almost always better to clean up things after a function/call/whatever, rather than before.

LoL! How's that for a grossly over-generalized observation?
