Hi,

How can we destroy session after closed window or tab? If user close window, still session is alive after login the systems. Please give me good solutions.

thanks for your time.

William

try the following in the function which closes the window or tab

unset($session_variable)

you can also try
destroy, session_destroy() methods

tq for reply. But its not working when you close tab or window.I already try. Do you have any sample code for that..

please share your code

He's not looking for PHP code, but for a Javascript event to trigger the PHP session destroy (I think).

See this, it's an example with jQuery. In that event, you can use AJAX to call a PHP function to clear the session.

Hi , i need sample code with jquery and call php file to destroy session when user close the tab or window or refreshing page. Whenever i click the menus in the page, no need to do anything.

when user close the window or tab or refreshing page, then call the php function.

thank you for your time..

  xmlHttp.send(null);
  }
</script>

then i call the function in body

<body onunload="ajaxFunction()">

content

</body>

any help to destroy session when user close the tab?

william

Is it an idea to auto expire a session after x minutes? So for example when a user leaves your website and remains inactive for 10 minutes, after which he returns, your system detects he has been away too long and unsets the session?

my question is :i want to close browser show alert but alert doesnot show during refresh a page like f5 and url select thn press enter.in jquery have any soluatin rely mme fast ...................thnks

SHow your code - we don't have a crystal ball. Also 'fast' is as fast as we decide it is. We are volunteers not slaves. Unless you want to pay for a premium service?
