Notes

Note:

If $_SESSION is used, use unset() to unregister a session variable, i.e. unset ($_SESSION['varname']);.

Caution

Do NOT unset the whole $_SESSION with unset($_SESSION) as this will disable the registering of session variables through the $_SESSION superglobal.

Note:

Only use session_unset() for older deprecated code that does not use $_SESSION.
