How to clear session of all users?

Question

I using php sessions in my project,i updated code:added some values to session.now i need to clear all existing sessions

ps.my OS is ubuntu 9.04

Answer 1

If there were a file included/required in all your files, you could put migration logic in there.

if (unset($_SESSION['myvar']) {
  $_SESSION['myvar'] = my_setup_myvar_func();
}

My main PHP application has such a file, but YMMV.

Answer 2

By default PHP session information is stored in files under /tmp/. The filenames are usually prefixed with sess_. So removing these files would clear out the existing sessions. The php.ini file may have been altered to change the location of these files, so check it if you can't find the right files.
