RE: [PHP] Sessions & Logout

When the browser closes, yes, but take a Mac for instance. When I start a session, let the user navigate pages, and then close the window, the next window opened will still allow the user to access the protected pages. True, on a PC closing the window closes the browser( thinking of IE here at least ), so I'm set there...it's just the other case I'm worried about. -----Original Message----- From: Matt [mailto:matt@smokescreen.org] Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2000 8:14 PM To: dempsejn@georgetown.edu; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Sessions & Logout If the lifetime of the cookie is zero, which it is by default, then it automatically deletes itself when the browser closes. ----- Original Message ----- From: <dempsejn@georgetown.edu> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2000 10:44 AM Subject: [PHP] Sessions & Logout > Hi all, > > I'm using sessions, and after a couple dumb mistakes, they're turning > out to be pretty simple.
