Question

This is my code for logout.php

When I click LOGOUT on my webpage I’m building, I have to click it twice to logout, any idea why?

Answer 1

First time you log out, the if is run through, destroying the session. Next time you log out, the else is run through, removing the cookies.

Look at PHP – session_destroy, there’s an example on how to handle this.

You can also do this in one run, just do two independent ifs

if (isset($_SESSION['user_id']) {
...
}

if (isset($_COOKIE['user_id']) {
...
}
