I'd like to make a simple form button which completely destroys the session when you click on it. I am just starting to use PHP for the first time, and do not see how I implement it into my HTML code.
What I'd like is simply a form button which will clear the session (and possibly an explanation as to how it works)
The form button is just like any other form button, nothing special. Catch the POST on the php side of things, and use session_destroy(); to kill the session data entirely.
See this guide for info about forms and post if you're hazy on the subject: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/postget.php and this http://www.tizag.com/phpT/phpsessions.php for info about sessions
More info about forms and PHP and how to work with the data from the form: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/forms.php
Example:
Order.html:
<html><body>
<h4>Tizag Art Supply Order Form</h4>
<form action="process.php" method="post">
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body></html>
process.php:
<html><body>
<?php
session_destroy();
?>
</body></html>
It's cheesy...does this help?
