Run PHP on window close

[glenelkins]

Hi

Simple question, how can I run a function  (I.e  $user_obj->UserLogout($nickname)) when the browser window closes?

Use javascript onClose event to direct you to another page which closes itself (php first, then JS) or use AJAX.

Remember PHP is oblivious to what you do inside your browser after the page has loaded

There is no guaranteed way to perform this functionality.

Agreed. While you could attempt to send an Http request when the window is closed, there are any number of ways why this may not work. There are only certain ways that you can be guaranteed that an onClose event would even fire, and those will only happen for visitors with javascript enabled in the first place.
