Question

from my logout.php :

<?php require_once("includes/session.php"); ?>
<?php require_once("includes/functions.php"); ?>
<?php
  if ( isset( $_SESSION['colony_id']))
    $cookie = $_SESSION['colony_id'] ;
  $_SESSION = array();
  if(isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) {
    setcookie(session_name(), '', time()-42000, '/');
  }
  session_destroy();
    //this fails-  session_start() ;   
    if ( !empty($cookie))
      $_SESSION['colony_id'] = $cookie ;    
    // redirect_to("login.php?logout=1");
?>

I want to end the current session and then start a new session, with one of the variables from the old session in the new session. I tried adding a second session_start statement, but that had no effect. What else can I do ?

Thanks

Edit: I decided to redirect to a new page, on which a fresh session_start() statement created a new session
