RE: [PHP] SESSION's from common computers

You really can't do anything besides saying that after X minutes, well, you were idle, so restart your session. Once you send them the page, you don't know if they are reading it or have left the table. All you can do is decide on the next request whether too much time has passed. As for the new computer, they'll have to start a new session there automatically, because they won't have the same cookie matching the session ID from the first computer. ---John Holmes... > -----Original Message----- > From: César Aracena [mailto:icaam@icaam.com.ar] > Sent: Saturday, June 29, 2002 1:24 AM > To: PHP General List > Subject: [PHP] SESSION's from common computers > > Hi all. > > I have a question about sessions… which is the best way to close a > session if one it’s opened for a certain user and then this user changes > to another computer?
