Session Expiry

[Anon]

I have a simple php test script which registers a session variable and another script simply displays the registered variables value. This routine works fine but even if all the browser sessions are closed the latter script displays the value of the session variable. It seems like the session is restored and never completely destroyed (atleast for a period of time).

I'm running PHP 4.0.6 on Windows 2000, IIS 5 as a CGI executable.

Any help would be great!

Make a logout.php with link in your test script.

session_start();
unset($var1);
unset($var2);
header("Location: wereyouwanttogo.php");

What if the browser is closed? In that case logout.php won't be executed and the session would be persistent. Isn't there some server setting (maybe in php.ini) to do this.
