Are there any potential issues with using JavaScript to handle session termination in PHP?

One potential issue with using JavaScript to handle session termination in PHP is that it may not be reliable or secure, as client-side scripts can be manipulated or disabled by users. To ensure proper session termination, it is recommended to handle it server-side in PHP by destroying the session data and cookies. 

// PHP code snippet to handle session termination
session_start(); // Start the session

// Unset all session variables
$_SESSION = array();

// Destroy the session
session_destroy();

// Remove session cookie
if (ini_get("session.use_cookies")) {
    $params = session_get_cookie_params();
    setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 42000,
        $params["path"], $params["domain"],
        $params["secure"], $params["httponly"]
    );
}
