A session only expires in three cases: a.) An explicit session_destroy() is sent.* b.) The user-side cookie with the session key expires. c.) The session corrupts.+ * You can also unset() or session_unset() all of the $_SESSION variables, but it still won't kill the user's cookie. + The session won't always automatically be destroyed in this case, so don't rely on it. -- </Dan> Daniel P.
