I need that the Database should be updated on when the browser is closed(Not updated when page is refreshed).

onbeforeunload only appears to be working in IE en FF.

If a browser reloads a new HTTP request is sent. So what you can do is wait a few seconds for the next HTTP Request.
eg:
On the PHP page that updates the DB do a
sleep(15);
This way the script waits for 15 secs. Then check if the user session has been updated after the script went to sleep. If so, then a new request was made.
You could probably take that down to 10 or even 5 secs.
