Ending of a session


Centinul

Recommended Posts

I tried searching the forums for the answer and I couldn't find a solution so I figured I'd post it.

 

I have the following two requirements with respect to sessions:

-- When a user closes the browser window the session ends and they are forced to login again.

-- When the user navigates away from the page to another site and uses the "back button" to navigate back to the original page they should be forced to login again.

 

By default PHP sessions handle the first case.

 

Is there a solution for the second case?

 

Thanks,

Not really, no. At least nothing is coming to me at this moment. ....Because their browser session is still open....and if you tried something like...

 

<?php

    if($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] != $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {

      header("location: index.php?logout=true");
    }

?>

 

Unless something is clicked or they linked back to the site...you can't really track it when they just hit the back button in their browser...Maybe with Ajax, possibly....since it is a client side action. Probably not though.
