How can PHP sessions be effectively managed to handle user logouts?

To effectively manage user logouts in PHP sessions, you can simply destroy the session data when a user logs out by calling session_destroy(). This will clear all session data associated with the user and effectively log them out.

// Start the session
session_start();

// Perform logout action
session_destroy();

// Redirect user to the login page or any other appropriate page
header("Location: login.php");
exit();
