Storing session variables in a DB has certain advantages. You may be able to use the onunload event in the <body> tag to activate a PHP script which would remove the session variables from the DB. The onunload event can be unreliable, however. If the browser crashes it won't work for example. If you were using PHP's default file-based sessions, when the browser is closed, the session ID cookie goes away and the session is invalid. The /tmp directory should get cleaned up on a periodic basis. If not, you could make a cron job to do that. It all depends on the details. James _____ James D.
