Hi,

I build an login system/script that sets the session..
Now i checked some stuff and found out that if you close your browser and restart the session still exists.
I know the session is not an session in the normal php session way.

Where is this session stored? and how do I kill/destroy the session on browser close?
Would be nice when you forgot to logout the system does it for you.

edit:

I know i can set an expiration for the session in the config, but still i want to kill the session when the browser is closed.

Why don’t you try session_destroy();

“The Session class stores session information for each user as serialized (and optionally encrypted) data in a cookie.”

I don’t use session_destroy() because as I explained it’s not an php session but an cookie.
Beside that i wanted an way to destroy it when the browser is closed, when i press log out the session changes so the user isn’t logged in anymore, but stays logged in after closing the browser without logging out.

Yeah i read all that too, but where can i find the cookie and what name does it have..?
i didn’t encrypted it..
I looked for ci_session(the original name the user guide says) cookie in cookie folder, but no cookie there
