How To Close a Session Properly?

Let's say you site requires users to login. When a logged in user clicks the logout button, you need to close the session associated with this user properly in 3 steps:    Remove all session values with $_SESSION = array().    Remove the session ID cookie with the setcookie() function.    Destroy the session object with the session_destroy() function.Below is a good sample script:<?php  session_start();  $_SESSION = array();  if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) {    setcookie(session_name(), '', time()-42000, '/');  }  session_destroy();  print("<html><pre>");  print("Thank you for visiting FYICenter.com.\n");  print("  <a href=login.php>Login Again.</a>\n");  print("</pre></html>\n");?>
