The session file will be deleted automatically by the garbage colector after certain amount of time, specified in php.ini by session.gc_maxlifetime

Hi,

Im working on a site  where the user logs in , if username and password
matches with uname and pword in database then he is a valid user.
I then start a session with session_onstart() and have a variable for his
username and for his permissions ! (these variables are stored on server)
Once he entered the secrure area , there is a logoff button for the user to
log off ! the logoff code looks like

(<?php

session_start();
$name = session_name();
session_unset();
session_destroy();
setcookie($name,"",-3600);
print("<script language='javascript'>self.close();</script>");
?>
)

the above code deletes the cookie on the clients computer + the session
variables on the server !

finally , here is my question ! If the user does not logoff , but simply
closes the browser , the cookie on his computer will be deleted , but the
session
variables on the server will still be there ! How do i delete this ?

Thanks a bunch !

Shaun
