Just addressing this quesiton -- you are correct that the browser does not tell the application when it closes. What *does* happen is that the cookie associated with that browser session is destroyed or nullified, thus when the use reopens their browser and opens the application again, there won't be a session cookie sent to the application on start. As explained above, this has nothing to do with how long the session data may be stored on the server, it just won't be accessed if the browser has been closed in the meantime. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
