How to really log out from a PHP page

I have read similar ways to log out, but none of them seem to work for me. I Have used all this combinations on my logout.php page:

<?php 
session_start();
session_destroy();
$_SESSION = array();
$_SESSION['sec_session_id'] = "";
unset($_SESSION['session_name']);

echo '<script> window.location.assign("../index.php") </script>"'; //this line works fine
?>

But down the line, the only way to really log out is by closing the browser. Any ideas on what am I doing wrong?

Now, there´s another hope, making the cookie expire with setcookie("user", '', 1); But I have no idea how to replace the word "user" :-/

Please try this way...

//logout.php

//start session
session_start();

// clear session array
$_SESSION = array();

// if session set in cookie, force cookie to expire
if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()]))
{
   $cookie_expires  = time() - date('Z') - 3600;
   setcookie(session_name(), '', $cookie_expires, '/');
}

// destroy session
session_destroy();

// redirection to your location
header("Location: /");
exit;
