[phplib] phplib7.2c session weirdness From: Daniel E. Baumann (baumannd <email protected>)
Date: 09/20/00

Hello all I am working on a project and I am using phplib. I recently upgraded
to phplib72.c. I have a logout script which is a link on my Menu derived
menu class. The problem that I am encountering is that it doesn't seem to
destroy the session or phplib is getting the wrong session from the database
at times. If I login as an administartor and then logout login as someone
with lesser privileges sometimes it diplays the information for the admin and
tells me it is destroying the admin's session, and other quirky things. It
just seems that it doesn't always get the right session. Sometimes when I
login as someone then logout and login as someone else it displays the
old user instead of the person I just logged in as (I have a
redirector page that displays their name and redirects them to the
appropriate main page based on access rights. I have permissions checking on
all pages of course).

When I was using phplib-7.3-dev from my Debian box I did not get all this
weird behavior. The setup is identical on both boxes (I am using RedHat at
the moment). So does anyone know of some weird session behavior with
phplib-7.2c? Why can't I get the phplib-7.3-dev tar ball from the web site
anymore?

I also thought it might be the browser so I upgraded to netscape 4.75, but it
didn't help.

Here is my logout script:

<?php
/***************************************************************************
           logout.php3 - Logs the user out of the system.
