You're trying to set Session variables after destroying the Session??? What are you actually trying to achieve?

@tykus i am trying to do when a user logged out then it show a feedback msg that he has been logged out and redirected to the given page.. with the $_SESSION global variable..
Level 104
@Shivamyadav yeah... but you destroyed the session, and you cannot use it without it being restarted.

@tykus how can i achieve this target
Level 11
@Shivamyadav assuming you have controller with logout method:
public function logout (Request $request)
{
Auth::logout();
session()->push('msg', 'Logout successfull.');
return redirect()->to('/');
}

@Shivamyadav you restart the Session with a new start_session(). You probably want session_unset() before destroying to clear existing variables, e.g.
session_start();
if(session_unset() && session_destroy()){
session_start();
$_SESSION['msg'] = "Logout successfull.";
header("location: index.php");
}
To be honest, it is more than a decade since I wrote PHP like this, so you'll want to check the docs to confirm.

Ohh I see.. then how you handle the logged in user in session? Like you could just forget user_id or whatever field you use for logged in user ;)

There are a few reasons why this might not be working as expected...
<?php
session_start();
if(session_status() == PHP_SESSION_ACTIVE){
$_SESSION['msg'] = "Logout successful.";
session_destroy();
header("location: index.php");
exit();
}

Try this one:
session_start();
session_destroy();
session_start();
session_regenerate_id(true);
$_SESSION['msg'] = "Logout successfull.";
header("location: index.php");
