Start session after destroy php
10,215
Solution 1
Instead of trying to store it as a session variable, you could check the referer and check for /logout/
if(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], 'logout') !== false) {
echo 'You have successfully logged out.';
}
Solution 2
Call session_start()
again after session_destroy()
?
Solution 3
Just start a new session:
session_start();
session_destroy();
session_start();
$_SESSION['food'] = 'pizza';

I have a logout file for my web application. I would like to create a session after the logout so that I can echo a logout success message. My logout code works but I am unable to create a new session after destroying the previous one.
What is the best way to do this, see code:
//LOGOUT.PHP session_start(); //// unset all $_SESSION variables session_regenerate_id(); session_unset(); session_destroy(); $_SESSION['logoutsuccess'] = 'You have successfully logged out.'; header("Location: /login/"); exit; //LOGIN.PHP (ECHO SUCCESS MESSAGE) if(isset($_SESSION['logoutsuccess'])) { echo '<div class="success">'.$_SESSION['logoutsuccess'].'</div>'; unset($_SESSION['logoutsuccess']); }
I would like to avoid passing variables in the url if possible.
