Re: [PHP-DB] Session start

Barry,

Did you try to use setcookie with expiry date in the past? You could
use 
setcookie before header function of the following manner.

session_start();
if (!(isset($_SESSION['username']) && $_SESSION['username'] != '')) {
setcookie("session","session id", 1);
header ("Location: login.html");
}

Best regards,
Luiz Alberto
