Why does my session remain?
<p>I must be really stupid because it seems a fairly obvious thing is completely confusing me right now.</p>

<p>I have a session...</p>

<p>ie <code>$_SESSION['handbag_id'];</code></p>

<p>and at a certain point, I need to completely kill this session.</p>

<p>ie</p>

<pre><code>// at the start of the page
session_start();

// elsewhere on the same page
unset($_SESSION);
session_destroy();
</code></pre>

<p>And yet, I can then go to another page, and do a </p>

<pre><code>echo $_SESSION['handbag_id'];
</code></pre>

<p>And I've still got the same handbag_id as before.</p>

<p>What am I missing? Do I not understand how this works or do I have some server setting that reigns supreme over my desire to destroy its values?</p>
