Logout script

January 27th, 2010

Wrote my own little logout script today (gives self a tiny little “geek pat on the back” :p).


Short and sweet:

*REVISED/IMPROVED SCRIPT:

<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION['logged'] = 0;

$_SESSION['username'] = ”;

$_SESSION['first_name'] = ”;

echo "<script type=’text/javascript’>
{
history.go(-1);
}
</script>";

?>

Now it will:

1) Log the user out,

2) Clear/reset current session state variables (just to be double-sure), then,

3) Set the URL to the page previous to ‘logout.php’ (which will be the page where the user was when he/she clicked ‘Logout’. We’ll safely assume that this would be a good spot to return the user).

[Code converted for webpage display using this awesome tool.]
