resting variables?

[amg182]

Hi guys.

 

I need to destroy a session when a user leaves a particular page. I tried using session_destroy() at the end of the page but its not possible, because my page has pagination. i.e. abc.php?page=1 etc...

 

So, I need to destroy a session when a user leaves abc.php page.

 

Thanks in advance

in order to completely erase the session, you will need to use a combination of session_destroy() and unset() on the session variables that you want to remove. this should help you.

You may try to do the next:

1. Start session at any page.

2. Every time write into the session the page name.

3. Before writing (p.2) check: if current page name and recorded page name are different - you just leaved the previous page. Then you may delete some session variables or close and destroy session - as you wish.

4. An of course if current and recorded names are equal it means that you stay at the same page.

You can't do anything when a user LEAVES a page, only when the user VISITS a page.

 

The best way to do it is what Sergei said:  Whenever the user hits that page, put a flag in the session.  Then, on every other page (or in the central place where you call session_start), if that flag is set and they're not on the flagged page, that means they left the page.  Kill the session.
