A session only expires in three cases:
a.) An explicit session_destroy() is sent.*
b.) The user-side cookie with the session key expires.
c.) The session corrupts.+
* You can also unset() or session_unset() all of the $_SESSION
variables, but it still won't kill the user's cookie.
+ The session won't always automatically be destroyed in this
case, so don't rely on it.
