PHP PHPSESSID persists after calling session_name(***)

Question

Can't seem to find the solution to the problem I'm having with my session.

$framework['session_name'] = "GenericSession";    

session_name($framework['session_name']);
session_set_cookie_params(0);
session_start();

In $_SERVERI find this:

 [HTTP_COOKIE] => PHPSESSID=uc2h858qkktji15g3qojom2104;
                  GenericSession=4dde6ufeepq21kiro2r931vui7

Can anyone tell me why there is still a PHPSESSID? How do I get rid of it?

@Fred-ii- I tried destroying it, but it still persists. If I print_r everything in $_SESSION I get all the data that's tied to the 'GenericSession' — Harrie, Oct 27 '15 at 15:53
It is not cross-domain related @Fred-ii-. I've accepted the answer that seems to fix the problem. — Harrie, Oct 29 '15 at 14:08
Ah ok. I'm glad to know that the question was solved, *cheers* — Funk Forty Niner, Oct 29 '15 at 14:09

PHPSESSID comes from your Browser Cookie.

You need to reset your Cookies for this website and you'll see only your new cookie.

You need to unset the cookie in the browser See Here. To do this, use set_cookie.

I have borrowed the following from This Post:

setcookie (session_id(), "", time() - 3600);
session_destroy();
session_write_close();
