Hi all,
After a visitor has loged in, a session is started.
The session is destroyed after the visitor clicked "Log out'.
When the visitor forgets to log out and closes the browser immediately, the
session stil exists because when the visitor opens the browser again and
comes back to the site he/she is still loged in.
Ofcourse i don't want that.
I want the session to be destroyed when the visitor closes the browser
immediately.
Is there a way to destroy a session when the user closes the browser and
forgets to log out.
If instead of php, javascript is necessary, please tell me also.
T.i.a.
Best regards,
Tino Wintershoven.

In your php.ini file, set the value:
session.cookie_ lifetime=0
Or, before EVERY session_start() call, use:
session_set_coo kie_params(0);

Apart from this, note that session data still exists on server; it will
be deleted eventually, when next "garbage" collection happens. In
general, the server has no way to know that you've closed the browser.
Usually, that's not an issue*, just be aware of it.
(*) It's an issue when you're paranoid about hackers using someone
else's session ID

If you're that paranoid about hackers, you should be using https protocol.

Is it possible to resume a session like that?
Any sample code provided?

Hi
I've just been told that closing your browser closes your session on the
web-site you are viewing, is this true? If so, is this the browser that initiates
the closure, or the server?
Thanks
