Hi all,

I'm using phpmyadmin to manage my database. I would like to know if it requires a proper logout?

I normally close the browser when i get the job done but is it the correct way? The reason why i posting this is that recently there seems to have random errors on my page (pls refer to the following thread for more details)..

Anyone knows do we need to proper log out phpmyadmin ?

Any help / advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    RTFS! 🙂

    I am not sure about the details of phpMyAdmin's session handling, but my guess is that the moment you visit your phpMyAdmin site, a session ID is provided by your server. if you create a new window (ctrl-n in internet exploder) then the new window will share the same session ID as the window in which you are logged in.

    this would suggest that you need to close ALL windows that participated in your logged in sesssion--don't forget the window where you logged in and then got distracted and started visiting www.thehun.com 😛

    generally speaking, sessions are based on that one session id. every time you open a fresh browser window and visit a PHP site where sessions are in effect, your browser is assigned a unique id. much care is taken to propagate this session id through cookies and in the URL, etc. if it ever gets lost, you lose your connection to your session data.

    maybe someone here has some idea how php session management works, but different software packages differ. you might want to search the source code of phpMyAdmin for 'session' and see what you get.
