销毁会话

i want to destroy a session by clicking on a link. if i click on that link the session will be destroyed, otherwise not. I don't know the exact code for this, but i have tried with this one :

<?php
echo $sess_destory = "<a href='department.php'> Back </a>";

if($sess_destory)
{
session_destroy();  
}
?>

In this way, the session is simply destroying before the time i want. That's why the desired data cannot pass through the other page and showing the error below :

"You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '(id, semester, sem_id) VALUES ('','Second Year First Semester','2-1')' at line 1"

make a generic logout page..

<?
session_start();
session_destroy();
header("location: index.php");
?>

First of all I see a spelling mistake:

if($sess_destory) // should be destroy
{
session_destroy();  
}

But, the error you show has to do with an SQL statement

(id, semester, sem_id) VALUES ('','Second Year First Semester','2-1')

Don't know what it should be, but assuming ID is auto incremental, do it this way:

(semester, sem_id) VALUES ("Second Year First Semester","2-1")
