When you want to destroy a session completely  you need to do more then just   session destroy      First  you should unset any session variables  Then you should destroy the session followed by closing the write of the session  This can be done by the following    lt  php session start    unset   SESSION   session destroy    session write close    header  Location       die    gt    The reason you want have a separate script for a logout is so that you do not accidently execute it on the page  So make a link to your logout script  then the header will redirect to the root of your site   Edit   You need to remove the    from your exit code near the top of your script  it should just be  exit
