Null session array condition not met until page is refreshed

[makamo66]

When I use the following code, it doesn't print out "else if test" until after I refresh the page.

unset($_SESSION["product"]);

if ( !empty($_SESSION["product"]) && ($_SESSION["product"] != NULL)) {
echo "if test";
} else if {
echo "else if test";
}

When I use:

var_dump($_SESSION["product"]);

It shows:

array(0) { }

Hi,

It looks like a problem with your conditional logic. Try reworking your if()

The code didn't actually make the call to unset the variables until after the not empty conditional was asked. I was misled because var_dump still printed out an empty session array. Once I changed the order of my code, it worked.
