How are you creating and manipulating session variables?

The recommended way is to NOT use session_register(), session_unset(), etc. Rather, the online manual recommends that you manipulate the $_SESSION array directly.

I am using session_start() and session_unset();

should i not be using these at all?

thanks for your quick response!

You must use session_start() unless you have session.auto_start set to "on" in php.ini.

Sorry, I misspoke. It is recommended that if you are manipulating $_SESSION, that you not use session_register(), session_is_registered(), or session_unregister().

What are you doing to create, set values to, and remove session variables?

I am calling session_start at the top of each page and then creating session variables by :
$_SESSION['whatever'] = "car";

I unset the session only once a user logs out by calling session_unset()

thanks again!

Try replacing

session_unset()

with

$_SESSION = array();
