session_unsetDestruye todas las variables de una sesión

session_unset() destruye todas las variables de la sesión actual.

Parámetros

Esta función no contiene ningún parámetro.

Valores devueltos

Historial de cambios

Versión Descripción
7.2.0 El tipo de retorno de esta función es ahora bool . Anteriormente, era void.

Notas

Nota:

Si se utiliza $_SESSION utilice unset() para destruir una variable de sesión, es decir unset($_SESSION['nomvariable']);.

Precaución

No se debe destruir $_SESSION con unset($_SESSION) ya que esto desactivará la posibilidad de almacenar variables de sesión a partir del array superglobal $_SESSION .

Nota:

Únicamente session_unset() debe utilizarse para código antiguo que no utiliza $_SESSION .

Precaución

Esta función solo funciona si una sesión está activa. No vaciará el array $_SESSION si la sesión no ha sido iniciada o si ya ha sido destruida. Utilice $_SESSION = [] para eliminar todas las variables de sesión incluso si la sesión no está activa.

I was having a problem clearing all session variables, deleting the session, and creating a new session without leaving old session stuff behind in all browsers. The below code is perfect for a logout script to totally delete everything and start new. It even works in Chrome which seems to not work as other browsers when trying do logout and start a new session.
<?php
 session_start();
 session_unset();
 session_destroy();
 session_write_close();
 setcookie(session_name(),'',0,'/');
 session_regenerate_id(true);
?>

The difference between both session_unset and session_destroy is as follows:
session_unset just clears out the session for usage. The session is still on the users computer. Note that by using session_unset, the variable still exists. session_unset just remove all session variables. it does not destroy the session....so the session would still be active.
Using session_unset in tandem with session_destroy however, is a much more effective means of actually clearing out data. As stated in the example above, this works very well, cross browser. session_destroy is destroy the session. session_destroy() to kill all session information.....This is the more secure function to use.

The solution provided by tim at leethost dot com is nice but you must check a active session first, because else you fill the logs with PHP Errors or Notices depending on your settings. I use it as a function, and it works smooth. 
```php
 /** @return void */
 public static function sayonara():void
 {
 if (session_status() !== PHP_SESSION_ACTIVE) :void
 {
 session_start();
 session_unset();
 session_destroy();
 session_write_close();
 setcookie(session_name(), '', 0, '/');
 session_regenerate_id(true);
 } 
 }
 sayonara();
```
