How do I know browser is getting closed?

[svihas]

Hi,
Does anyone know to find out the idle time for not using browser or computer in PHP.

And how do we know the user is closing browser? What is the function in PHP?

I am using PHP with Oracle8 on Apache. I want to logoff the oracle connection when user is closing the browser or when the computer is idle for sometime (I don't want to have persistant connections). Or do I need to try that in Javascript on browser side?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

there are a couple of posts about that topic on this forum.

There is no way of determining if the browser is closed or not. What you can do is (using javascript) open a php script which is loaded on_exit of the page...
