Ending A Session, Redirect to Another Page

Question

I am trying to redirect to another page upon breaking a session and destroying session variables.

Here is my code to logout:

<?php

_$SESSION['signin'] = null;

session_destroy();

header("Location: /index.php");

?>

I thought this was quite straight forward, however it simply stays on the logout.php page, and does not get redirected to the index page.

I assume his has something to do with destroying the session, kind of like an "exit" in php.

How can I go about redirecting then though?

Answer 1

you appear to heave a simple syntax error in your first line:

WAS:

_$SESSION['signin'] = null;

It should be:

$_SESSION['signin'] = null;

NOTE: You probably have error messages suppressed/hidden. When in development, you should have them enabled, you would have figured out this error very easily.
