PHP Session end problems

Hi guys

I've built a shopping cart, and at the end of the transaction, the completed
page is meant to destroy the cookie holiding the users session id and return
them to the front page with an empty basket and a nice new session.

Problem is while the cookie disappears fine, I can't seem to end the session
unless I close all the browser windows

I'm using the following code

<?php
setcookie ("mysite", "", time() - 3600);

session_start();
session_destroy();
session_unset();

if( isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["mysite"]) )
unset( $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["mysite"] );
?>

Anyone got any thoughts as to why it's not binning the session? Thanks.

Hmm, still no dice...

I can't figure it out.

I remember running into this a while back.. something to do with
session_register() which has been deprecated. Take a look in the PHP manual
..chm edition notes.. I think it is there, and I will try to see if I can find
how I rectified this before.

Hi fellas

Cheers for the input, I finally got round it by deleting the cookie and
unsetting/destroying the session before going to the secure payment page which
did the business.

It's all gravy ;?)
