Session deletion in Symfony 1.4

Question

How do I delete all session variables at once if they are not in Array?

PS I set them this way:

$this->getUser()->setAttribute('PayPalTransaction.hash', $request->getParameter('hash'));

Answer 1

The sfUser class (which you get with $this->getUser()), keeps all it's attributes in a sfNamespacedParameterHolder. So the setAttribute() function on sfUser if merely a proxy to the sfNamespacedParameterHolder::setAttribute(). You can get the reference to this holder with sfUser::getAttributeHolder().

The sfNamespacedParameterHolder also has a function clear(), which clears all attributes.

So to clear all attributes, use: $this->getUser()->getAttributeHolder()->clear().

(Please note that you will still be authenticated (e.g. logged in) when you clear the attribute holder).

Answer 2

Another way if you want to remove just one session variable not all of them is to use the following code

$this->getUser()->getAttributeHolder()->remove('att_name');

Again this will only remove one not all ... to clear all use the previous code by Grad

Answer 3

To remove all attributes of a namespace :

$this->getUser()->getAttributeHolder()->removeNamespace('yournamespace');
