 Description: ------------ After session initialization we store data in session super global array but after invocation of session_destroy function which is used to destroy session data in session super global variable should also be unset simultaneously. Otherwise there is no meaning of session_destroy if data persists in session super global variable Also according to documentation of session_destroy function as mentioned in php.net Destroys all data registered to a session Hence I suggest that data should not persist after session is destroyed in super global $_SESSION variable otherwise there is no reliability of session_destroy() function. Test script: --------------- session_start(); $_SESSION['xyz']=99; session_destroy(); print_r($_SESSION); PatchesPull RequestsHistoryAllCommentsChangesGit/SVN commits

function my_special_session_destroy() { session_destroy(); unset($_SESSION); } Since this can easily be implemented in userland, but changing the behavior of session_destroy() would introduce a BC break, I see no point in this feature. If you feel stronly that this would be an improvement, please forward the feature request to the internals mailing list.
