Re: Session file in /tmp

2 Problems: 1. User A's information will come up when user B logs in instead of user B's information coming up when user B logs in... User A's information seems to be cached in /tmp/sess_8ce0348cbf6704f96c2d8094e876ac3b. Any ideas how to keep this from happening? 2. When a user exits Internet Explorer without logging off and invoking session_destroy(); the user cannot log back in immediately. If I SSH into the server and delete /tmp/sess_8ce0348cbf6704f96c2d8094e876ac3b then the user can log back in. Do I need to write a shell_exec routine to delete this file when the session is destroyed? How can I tell from the server that the user has closed the window?
