Sessions

[web2000]

Hi,

 

I am trying to delete a session when the page is left. So basically when the page is unloaded, either shut down or if the browser has gone to another page it will delete the session.

 

Any help would be much appreciated

Pretty difficult to do reliably. You'd need to open a popup (on page unload) which would kill the session. There may be some Ajax trickery you could try also, but yeah... most solutions are going to be pretty unreliable.

I dont know that much but couldnt you just timestamps etc to do it, so when the user logs out or the time is up the session is destroyed etc

Thanks for the advice guys, how can i actually just delete a session? Is there a way or do i have to set a timeout on the sesssion before it will go away?

This will clear the $_SESSION array.

 

<?php

  session_start();
  $_SESSION = array();

?>
