RE: [PHP-WIN] session ids

PHP will use the session id that your browser specifies. If you have php setup to store session id in cookies, every time you refresh the page your browser is telling php what session id to use. Then when you close your browser, your cookies may be getting deleted.

Now my understanding of sessions may be wrong, but I though when you kill a session the id is killed as well. that would mean when I refresh the page, a new id should be generated. Unfortunately this does not happen and I can't figure out why. Only after I shut all browser windows down, I get a new id and then the same story again. Now, I know that the damn session is erased from the temp folder because I see it happen, however the id sticks to the browser for whatever reason. I am running php4.2.3 on w2k pro and IIS can anybody help me please? thanx, iggy -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
