Need Help??

in reply to AuthCookieDBI questions and answers

How do i issue a logout?

I don't use AuthCookieDBI, but generally whenever you want to logout a user that's logged in with cookies, you do two things: 1) reset their cookie to a new value, and 2) redirect them to an "entry" page.

You should be able to figure out the rest. :)

I guess my question should have been what syntax would I issue to remove the cookie or issue a bad session key against the username in AuthCookieDBI??
AuthCookie gives and example of:-
"$r->auth_type->logout($r);"

If my understanding is correct this poisons the session. So the next request to authorize will redirect to the login page.
So is there such a command for the modified AuthCookieDBI??

Again thanks to one and all
