session problem

[leoric1928]

Good day,

I am having a problem with my session.  The scenario is this, whenever a user logs on to my application it creates a session then after the user is done he must log off so the session will end. But what if the user does not log off, he just close the browser then he logs on again as a different user and the session timer does not yet reach the the timeout that I set, and since the session is still active the user will see the profile of the previous user not the one he logged on. How will I correct this problem? Tnx

Try clearing $_SESSION when the user logs in. Or just load the new profile information, replacing the previous info.

These solutions seem fairly obvious... Maybe I'm not understanding what the problem is?

tnx, ill try that but how do i clear the $_SESSION?

In theory,
$_SESSION = array();
should do the trick. See also the [man]session_destroy[/man] manual page.
