Unable to unset session on clicking link

Question

I have set session_start() on every page. Now, I want to unset session

 <div style="text-align: center;">
     <a href="clearorder.php">Clear order</a>
      </div>

Here is my clearorder.php

<?php
session_start(); 
$_SESSION["cart"] = array();
session_destroy(); 
header('location:'.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
?>

But the session is not clearing and displaying the data of the session. What could I be missing?

First of all there might be something wrong with your logic, as you are assigning an empty `array()` to your session `cart` variable, it will always be empty. Try to assign it something, and then see if the value appears after you `session_destroy();` Also refer to this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6472123/why-session-destroy-not-working — Nah, May 24 '18 at 07:18

First Destroy Session and then set an empty array so it will be clear,

session_destroy();
$_SESSION = array(); // Clears the $_SESSION

The way i got my log out button to work was simply

"Button that leads to (Example: logout.php)"
<?php
Session_start();
Session_destroy();
Header("Location: "Whatever page you want" ");
?>
