Help using Session_Destroy

[LocalHero]

I have an order form that is 5 steps over 5 pages. The info is sessioned so it will appear on the 5th page. That page is submitted to the shoppnig cart which also uses (seperate) sessions. When a user trys to fill out another order form, the previous info shows up again. I have read a little about session_destroy. I guess that is what I would use to stop my 5 pages from keeping the info, but I don't want to remove the info from the cart. The info on the 5th page is submitted by javascript. How to I have it destroy only the 5 page session after it is submitted? Thanks for any help!

I'd be inclined to think (without knowing more details) that you might be better off just unset()-ing all the session variables that you do not want to be active any more. If you want them all unset, just do:

foreach($_SESSION as $key => $val)
{
unset($_SESSION[$key]);
}

Hmmm. I hadn't thought of that. Sounds like it would work, but still might be tricky in my situation. I'll work on it for awhile and ask for help if I get stuck. Thanks though!

You could also handle each transaction as a separate session by using session_id() and setting it to the transaction number. The advantage of this is that someone could go away and come back and resume where they left off.

Alternatively, take the shorter route:session_unset();

I've been getting my pages ready to try the unset idea, but could you (Daniel T and tbirnseth) explain your respective ideas a little more? As I said when exiting the 5th page AND entering the cart I would like to forget the info so I may start a new order. I've never tried anything like this so any help getting started would be much appreciated! :D
