Laravel Auth :: logout（）无法正常工作

Question

I am trying to log out a user but it doesn't seem to be working...

public function logout() {

        $user = Auth::user();
        Auth::logout($user);

        return Redirect::to('/');
    }

If I comment out the first two lines, the redirect works... But the logout part just doesn't.

Answer 1

Try to use Auth::logout(); - without any parameters.

You might encounter an error saying that there is no remember_token field in your table, to fix this, find: PROJECT_FOLDER/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Auth/Guard.php , then comment out line 520 .

Or you can fix this by adding a column 'remember_token' in your user table.

Answer 2

Ultimately, yes -

Under the hood, the only thing that really needs to happen is session_destroy() -

As far as Laravel is concerned, this function exists in case there is any other clean up that needs to be done... for example, if a 'remember me' cookie needs to be deactivated...

But, to test your Laravel script, you could have a page - let's call it sessionTest.php -

<?php

echo "<pre>"; 
print_r($_SESSION); 


?> 

If you visit this page before and after your logout - then you should have a better idea of what is going on.

If Laravel is really failing, it could be a Remember_me cookie that isn't being cleaned up properly, or some other strange issue that we would need to investigate further...
