header("Location: ../index.php");
this code works properly when i run it in my localhost, but when i upload it into my server it didn't work, and makes me unable logout from my website. please someone help me thru' this thank you.
Make sure your session is initialized before destroying it.
session_start() ;
var_dump($_SESSION); // Check session is set/not
session_destroy() ;
header("Location: ../index.php");
If you have any session value print then surely we can destroy it.
There are multiple scenarios possible in which your logout.php won't work. The most common one is that somehow your permissions are incorrect and your session file cannot be created on the server.
To check if this is the case I advise you to enable error reporting. You can do this by putting the following lines at the top of your PHP file:
// Put this code in your logout.php temporarily
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
Following that, make sure that your session isn't already initiated.
// Replace session_start(); in all files with this
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
}
I hope the above code changes will show you what your error might be.
