Hello there!

You are reloading the page, aren't you?

So after waiting 60 seconds and then reloading a page is the session still valid?

I'd need more information than that to be able to help. What actually happens? What does your code look like?

Its probably a good idea to work it into the function that you use to secure your pages, or setup the session for your users. You'd want to call that from every (secured) page to prevent unwanted access to your site.

If you mean can you detect when someone closes their browser window, then the simple answer is no. The best thing to do is make your user sessions timeout after a pre-determined period of inactivity. For example: if (array_key_exists('accessed', $_SESSION)) { if (time() - $_SESSION['accessed'] > 60 * 30) { $id = $_SESSION['id']; mysql_query("UPDATE myMembers SET logged_in='N' WHERE id='$id'"); // session last accessed more than 30 minutes ago session_destroy(); $_SESSION = array(); print 'Your session has expired due to inactivity.'; exit(); } else { $_SESSION['accessed'] = time(); } } Although this will obviously only get run when someone makes a request for some resource on your server.

Hello!

And probably best not to take this approach either

FWIW, that sounds like a reasonable quote to me. Good luck!

I wish I'd know about this sooner. Thanks for posting.
