Log out code

[islanduini]

My site has multiple users who can log in and out. I have a page titled 'logout.php' The code is listed below:

<?PHP
   include_once("common.php");     
   include_once("cookie.class.php");
   include_once("users.class.php");
   
   session_destroy();
   
   $cookie = new Cookie();
   $cookie->delete_cookie('login');
   setcookie('SMFCookie10', NULL, time()-3600);
   
   header("Location: " . URL_ABSOLUTE );
?>

Currently with this code, when a user logs out they are directed to the homepage but I would like them to be directed to a thank you page that says they are logged out.

Does anyone know how I can implement this using the code above?

Thanks

header("Location: " . URL_ABSOLUTE ); 

Change the above to a page of your choice:

header("Location: thankyou.php");

Ok thanks...

Is there a way to send different users to different thank you pages from the logout link?

Here is the current code:

<? if(isset($_SESSION['user'])) { ?>
<a href="<?=URL_ABSOLUTE?>/logout2.php" style="color: #FFF;">LOG OUT</a> /
<? } else { ?>

Sure, you can make the redirection user-specific, to the extent that you're able to differentiate.

Problem is... I dont know how to write the code very well...

Here is a peice of code below: that I took from another link on the site. The code is based on the user type and ID. I would like to have the same type of thing happen with the logout but each user would be directed to a different page when they log out:

<a href="<?=URL_ABSOLUTE?>/search.php?search=basic&type=2&category_id=<? echo $_SESSION['user']['category_id'];

?>&s=&submit=search"class="main_nav">INDUSTRY</a>

How would I write the logout code?

This code seemed to work but now when I am logging out with the user id=2, I see the orginal login as well. It should be gone.

<? if($category_id == 2) : ?>
<a href="<?=URL_ABSOLUTE?><? echo isset($_SESSION['user']['category_id == 2']) ? '/logout2.phpid='.$_SESSION['user']['category_id' == 2] :

'/logout2.php'; ?> style="color: #FFF;">LOG OUT</a>
<? endif; ?>

Here is another thing I tried but didnt work.... Can anyone help??

<? if($category_id == 1) : ?>
<a href="<?=URL_ABSOLUTE?><? echo isset($_SESSION['user']['category_id == 1']) ? '/logout2.phpid='.$_SESSION['user']['category_id' == 1] : 

'/logout2.php'; ?> style="color: #FFF;">LOG OUT</a> /
<? } else { ?>

<? if($category_id == 2) : ?>
<a href="<?=URL_ABSOLUTE?><? echo isset($_SESSION['user']['category_id == 2']) ? '/logout2.phpid='.$_SESSION['user']['category_id' == 2] : 

'/logout2.php'; ?> style="color: #FFF;">LOG OUT</a> /
<? } else { ?>

<? if($category_id == 3) : ?>
<a href="<?=URL_ABSOLUTE?><? echo isset($_SESSION['user']['category_id == 3']) ? '/logout2.phpid='.$_SESSION['user']['category_id' == 3] : 

'/logout2.php'; ?> style="color: #FFF;">LOG OUT</a> /
<? } else { ?>

<? if($category_id == 4) : ?>
<a href="<?=URL_ABSOLUTE?><? echo isset($_SESSION['user']['category_id == 4']) ? '/logout2.phpid='.$_SESSION['user']['category_id' == 4] : 

'/logout2.php'; ?> style="color: #FFF;">LOG OUT</a> /
<? } else { ?>

<? if($category_id == 5) : ?>
<a href="<?=URL_ABSOLUTE?><? echo isset($_SESSION['user']['category_id == 5']) ? '/logout2.phpid='.$_SESSION['user']['category_id' == 5] : 

'/logout2.php'; ?> style="color: #FFF;">LOG OUT</a> /
<? } else { ?>

<? if($category_id == 6) : ?>
<a href="<?=URL_ABSOLUTE?><? echo isset($_SESSION['user']['category_id == 6']) ? '/logout2.phpid='.$_SESSION['user']['category_id' == 6] : 

'/logout2.php'; ?> style="color: #FFF;">LOG OUT</a> /
<? } else { ?>
            
<? if($category_id == 7) : ?>
<a href="<?=URL_ABSOLUTE?><? echo isset($_SESSION['user']['category_id == 7']) ? '/logout2.phpid='.$_SESSION['user']['category_id' == 7] : 

'/logout2.php'; ?> style="color: #FFF;">LOG OUT</a> /
<? } else { ?>


<? if($category_id == 8) : ?>
<a href="<?=URL_ABSOLUTE?><? echo isset($_SESSION['user']['category_id == 8']) ? '/logout2.phpid='.$_SESSION['user']['category_id' == 8] : 

'/logout2.php'; ?> style="color: #FFF;">LOG OUT</a> /
<? } else { ?>

My question hasn't really been answered yet... Can anyone help?

if you want to redirect, use header() instead of "<a href="
