RE: [PHP] Sessions & Logout From: Jack Dempsey (dempsejn <email protected>)

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.

If the lifetime of the cookie is zero, which it is by default, then it
automatically deletes itself when the browser closes.
