  1. POPage Does Not Recognize SESSION
    text
    copied!<p>I have come along something i could not solve for so long. i have created a script in php that unsets one single session variable, However the page stats the session Here is my code for the page :</p> <pre><code> &lt;?php session_start(); require_once("../header.php"); if($_SESSION['user']) { unset($_SESSION['user']); echo "you succesfully logged out."; header("Refresh:5; url=http://www.webmasteroutlet.com"); } else { echo "you are already NOT LOGGED IN right now."; } require_once("../footer.php"); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>That is the whole code on this page. and it always prints out "you are already NOT LOGGED IN right now." <code>$_SESSION['user']</code> is assigned true in login.php page and i have <code>session_start();</code> at the very beginning of the page right after the <code>&lt;?php</code> opening. The session variable is recognized at all other files with php extension and that is the only single file that it is not working on. I also tried </p> <pre><code>&lt;?php session_start(); echo $_SESSION['user']; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>and it does not print anything. It simply skips that line and does nothing. What am i doing wrong ? Thank You very much for your help. this is the header.php code</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php session_start(); require("config.php"); // that only contains connection to the database and it is successful. if(isset($_SESSION['user'])==1){ echo "&lt;div id=\"topnav\" class=\"topnav\"&gt;&lt;a href=\"#\" class=\"signup\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;".$_SESSION['username']."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=\"http://www.webmasteroutlet.com/users/logout.php\" class=\"signup\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;LOGOUT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"; } else if ($_SESSION['admin']) { echo "&lt;div id=\"topnav\" class=\"topnav\"&gt;"."&lt;a href=\"#\" class=\"signup\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;".$_SESSION['adminusername']."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; "; echo "&lt;a href=\"http://www.webmasteroutlet.com/admin/adminlogout.php\" class=\"signup\"&gt;&lt;span&gt;LOGOUT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"; } else if ( !isset($_SESSION['user'])) { require ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/users/login.php"); } require("search.php"); ?&gt; </code></pre>
