Logout link without a using a database
Multiple Admin Login (php)

Is it possible to add a logout link to that file you have above once you login? I used a login without a database and want to add a logout on the page to have someone logout of that page.

I don't understand what you mean. You can make someone 'logout' from your system with a few lines. But creating a login without values has any sense?

Though we don't have a file above us (that is accessible), every session is just that—a session. If you're using cookies or PHP's built-in session management (which requires a cookie anyway), all you have to do is destroy the session when you send a user to the relative page (i.e. the "logout" page). Concerning the way PHP handles sessions, sessions are "destroyed" the moment the user closes the browser. Cookies are a bit different depending on their lifespan. Normally if you don't provide how long the cookie should remain valid, it gets destroyed upon closing the browser. To destroy a cookie, just give it a date that already passed, like yesterday.

I think it is possible like here is the login_logout.php

CODE

//make a variable to store user defaults, since it is admin i think one password will be enough
$password="yourpasswordhere"; // or if you have more passwords
$password=array("jim"=>"pass","etc"=>"etc");
//now to assign a var to user name
$admin="adminPassword"; //admin login name here you can get it via form with the $_POST['adminLoginName'] variable or you just can leave it here.
if($admin===$password['jim']){
setcookie("admin",$admin,time()+3600);
}
echo <a href="login_logout.php?value=logout" />
if($_GET["value"]==="logout") {
setcookie("admin",$admin,time()-3600);
//redirect or whatsoever
}

I hope you get what i was trying to say here, use $_GET global variable to logout the user.

$_SESSION = array();
