<simpara>
<function>session_destroy</function> destroys all of the data
associated with the current session. It does not unset any of
the global variables associated with the session, or unset the
session cookie.
</simpara>
<para>
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.
<function>setcookie</function> may be used for that.
