I am working on a project for user management system where I am facing a very strange issue with user login and logout. The issue is when user gets logged in and visits some other pages after that if he/she wants to logout it doesn’t work. After clearing browser history and cookies again user can logged back. One more point after clearing the browser history and cookies suppose user is not staying long and press logout it works. I don’t know what’s wrong with the code.

my config file is as follows,

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

and my logout code is as follows,

    function logout()
    {

        //$this->cache->clean();
       // ob_clean();
        redirect(base_url());        
    }

  1. if he/she wants to logout it did not work.

    with your logout function, this

    $this->session->unset_userdata('customer');
    

    only unsets the specified key from the $_SESSION superglobal.

    you are not logging out anyone, you just unset ‘customer’ index of the $_SESSION array, use the PHP function session_destroy(); instead

  2. Use session destroy method and then redirect:-

    $this->session->sess_destroy();
    redirect(base_url());
    
    Login or Signup to reply.
  3. Update your logout function like this if you have set a cookie name as "customer":

    function logout()
    {
        $this->load->helper('cookie');
        delete_cookie("customer");
    
        $this->session->unset_userdata('customer');
    
        redirect(base_url());        
    }
