[PHP] ending a session
Hello, I started a session at www.mydomain.com:/myscript.php I want to destroy the session at www.mydomain.com/myscript.php I seem to not be able to destroy it though. Does the different port have anything to do with it? Thx, H J.J. P -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If the user opens a new window, without closing the old one first, then it will use the same session. If the client don't accept cookies, you'll have to turn transparant_session on. The problem with that is, that the user will not(probably, I'm not sure about this) get a new session, because the server doesn't know that the browser window is actually closed, like Rasmus told you. One reasen the user don't accept cookies, can be the following: http://www.w3.org/P3P/ Some users/browsers/company only accept cookies from websites which have a P3P statement. Other users just don't accept cookies. You'll have to live with that, use transparant_sessions and accept the negative sides of that (if it has any).

That's what I do and it works, in mozilla the script closes the window, in i.e. it asks that the user verify if they want to close the window, if they say no, then the user sees the message that please close this window to logout and that would pretty much take care of everything as far as I know. So, you first destroy the session, and then open a popup window? Why? If you destroyed the session, the user is already logged-out. Or do you destroy the session also in a popup window? In that case you have another two usergroups which can be a pain-in-the-ass: a) users that don't have JavaScript activated b) users (like me) that have a Popup killer Maybe, with all these solutions together, we can create the perfect logout script ;-)) Grtz Erwin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] ending a session
Hi, I'm just wanna know why the session doesn't end when the user closes the browser window and how can i make it. Thanks Raphael -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] ending a session
Because there is absolutely no way for PHP to know that the user has closed the browser window. Nothing is sent from the browser to the server on a window close. By using session cookies (cookies without a specified expiry time) the session is effectively ended since the cookie is gone once the browser has been completely shut down (not just a window). When that user comes back to the site after starting their browser again they will get a new session. -Rasmus On Thu, 5 Sep 2002, Raphael Hamzagic wrote: Hi, I'm just wanna know why the session doesn't end when the user closes the browser window and how can i make it.

Re: [PHP] ending a session
You can end the session by using function session_destroy(). See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-destroy.php For general information on how PHP handles sessions see: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP] ending a session
Ohhh, I see what you are looking for.. You have to play around with some javascript to do it. Have a logout.php file, and destroy session in that file ... And in the main page, have the javascript to open up a new window with logout.php page. Makes sense? I hope this helps.

Re: [PHP] ending a session
A little addition/clarification, I mean in the main page, have the javascript open up a new window with logout.php file when the user closes the browser.
