First: I did not ask for support. The issue I submitted is concerning the HTTP headers that the PHP function session_unregister() sends to the browser. My suggestion was to send Cookie Expires and Cookie Max-Age together when unregistering a PHP session to make sure that even with broken proxy or browser implementations the session gets terminated. This problem came across a broken proxy implementation that only treated the Max-Age option and ignored the Expires option and then sent the session cookie with the value 'deleted' back to the PHP application which then treated it as a valid session. See: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1829098&group_id=311&atid=100311 I don't mess with computer's time but some internet users might do this and change the date to use expired software licenses. I don't know if the PHP application or PHP itself sets the cookie expires date to one year in the past. Maybe setting it to 1 January 1980 00:00 GMT is the safest way.
