Mozilla/firefox session()

jansky

To all guru

I am using session() for my login everything works okay for IE,Netscape
1. When i Log off
2. When i close my browser and login again, create new session

when i use mozilla
When i logged in for the first time works okay but when i close the browser and login again it seems the session id still remain..

Any one encountered this in mozilla??

What do you mean by logout? Do you use the session_destroy() function? The session module uses a cookie which contains the session ID. The settings for this cookie can be found in the following php.ini directives:

session.cookie_lifetime
session.cookie_path
session.cookie_domain
session.cookie_secure

They can be read and changed using the session_set_cookie_params() and session_get_cookie_params().

Destroying the session does not remove the cookie, however, if the session is destrotyed server side then the cookie will only cause a new session with the old ID to be created on the next request.

The default value for the session.cookie_lifetime directive is 0 which means that Fx should delete the cookie when the browser is closed - if it is not 0 then you either need to change it or use the setcookie() function to remove it manually when you destroy the session.

thats because mozilla firefox SUCKS, use Opera, it is not only just as good, but BETTER. It also displays the most current and BEST web standards

Thanks for that helpful observation Tim :rolleyes:

jansky, did you check the settings for the session cookie, what are they? Also, have a look in Options->Privacy->Cookies->View Cookies for the session cookie on your site. It will tell you when it expires.

Like I said earlier, the session_destroy function does not remove the cookie, it only removes the sessions data associated with the ID.

im starting to believe that mozilla/firefox is SUCKS just like what TIMTIMT mention

Sure you haven't got a shagged copy or something? Actually is your script webbed up as I'm sure loads of people here including myself run Firefox plus others for script testing so can tell you if it's happening to us.

It's either a dud build (what build are you using?) or something seriously wacky about the coding (though that shouldn't be affected by the client); many many other people use PHP sessions and Firefox, without any apparent trouble whatsoever.

You still have told us what your session cookie settings are, or what the expiry time in Fx for the cookie is. You also haven't indicated whether or not you are using setcookie() to manually remove the cookie.

Tell us this information and we might be able to help you better. Also, reinstalling Firefox on your machine might help. Sometimes the profile can become corrupt.
