Loggin out of the members area

**kooshin.com** · Dec 7, 2004 07:43

I have made a small members area using the tutorials found on some site. Then I have the following code for logging out of the members area

PHP Code:




<?

session_start();

echo "<center><font color=red><strong>You are now logged out!</strong></font></center><br />";include 'loggin.htm';



?>

but when the logout link is clicked it loads that text but the person is still logged in and can access pages by using direct urls like going to the members special page. So I need your help and post the right code if you can . I appreciate it.

thanks,

try this:

save it as logout.php

PHP Code:


<? session_start() ?>

<HTML>

<HEAD>

 <TITLE>Logout</TITLE>

</HEAD>



<BODY>

 <H2>Logout</H2>

 <?

    // if the user is logged in, log them out

    if ($logged_in_user) {

        session_unregister("logged_in_user");

        echo "You are now logged out.";



    // if the user isnt logged in, let them know that

    } else {

        echo "You haven't logged in yet.";

    }

 ?>

 <BR>

 <BR>

 <A HREF="login.php">Click here to log in.</A>

 <BR>

 <BR>

 <A HREF="register.php">Click here to register as a new user.</A>

</BODY>

</HTML>

look at the php.net site for information on using session_unset() and session_destroy() to end sessions
