I know this has already been answered but here's what it says at php.net.

PHP: session_destroy - Manual
Quote:
In order to kill the session altogether, like to log the user out, the session id must also be unset. If a cookie is used to propagate the session id (default behavior), then the session cookie must be deleted. setcookie() may be used for that.

...

PHP Code:
<?php
// Initialize the session.
// If you are using session_name("something"), don't forget it now!
session_start();

// Unset all of the session variables.
$_SESSION = array();

// If it's desired to kill the session, also delete the session cookie.
// Note: This will destroy the session, and not just the session data!
if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) {
    
setcookie(session_name(), ''time()-42000'/');
}

// Finally, destroy the session.
session_destroy();
?>
...

Note: Only use session_unset() for older deprecated code that does not use $_SESSION.
