[PHP] CHECKING IF A SESSION IS ACTIVE OR NOT
HI, I'm storing the sessions ids in a database table. I want to run a script that reads from the table every session id and check if this session is active or not. I know that session information is stored in a directory (/tmp by default) and removed from there when the session is closed. But if the user close his browser without deconnecting from the session the session file is still in the /tmp directory. How can i know if a session is still active or not !! ??? I have searched the session functions and didn't find anything that could help Thx for any Help N. __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

You don't realy need it. Session garbage colector removes old session files for you. Nagib Abi Fadel wrote: HI, I'm storing the sessions ids in a database table.

Re: [PHP] CHECKING IF A SESSION IS ACTIVE OR NOT
There is no reliable way for the server (Apache, PHP, etc) to know when a user closes a session by closing his browser window. That's one reason why session-management sytems always employ a timeout on sessions. I don't know what the default timeout is for the PHP session-management system, but I believe you can set it. But that raises the question: If you are already storing session IDs in a database table, why don't you do your own session managment instead of using the PHP system? --John On Thursday 10 July 2003 09:42 am, Nagib Abi Fadel wrote: HI, I'm storing the sessions ids in a database table.
