Recommended Posts

Hi i was wondering is there anyway to destory a session after say 60 mins of inactivity or after thr browser is closed? Can i use just sessions? or do i have have to use cookies?

 

I have been looking around and was wondering if this would work.. this is on the login_process.php

define(COOKIE_DIR, '/');
define(COOKIE_MAXLIFE, '1800');
define(GC_MAXLIFE, '1800');
session_save_path(SESSION_PATH);
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', GC_MAXLIFE);
session_set_cookie_params(COOKIE_MAXLIFE, COOKIE_PATH);
session_start();
$_SESSION['auth'] = "yes";
$_SESSION['email'] = $email;
$_SESSION['online'] = 1;

Well, Sessions are automatically destroyed when the browser is closed

Not strictly true. Sessions are destroyed after a period of inactivity.

Unless the browser makes a call to the server when it's closed, then there's no way that PHP running on the server can know that it has been closed.
