Session problem

[scialom]

Hi

I am not sure if this can be done with php or I need javascript but lets try 🙂

I have a directory that is protected with username and password from the server. So every time that someone goes to a page under the browser prompt a dialog box with username and password. This works fine but in order to kill the session I need to close the browser.

I wonder if there a php command that can kill the browser session?

thanks!

try using session_destroy() though i think apache has it's own session

thanks but it doesn't kill the apache session

Then i don't think it can be done, atleast not with php and defenitely not with JS

so are there security threats of leaving it open on the apache side? i'm using session_destroy() for my logout...

Apache manages it's own sessions.

Anyways, i remember seeing a script where you would prompt for an apache login in php when i think of it. I'll try to find it
