Look in php.ini and set "session.use_cookies" to 0.

There's a session deletion script based on the last time a session file
was written to. You can set the duration a session is allowed to stay on
the file system for. http://database.sf.net/ - Down the bottom.

Chris, 

I have found that when you get the users to exit propperly they will go by them 
selves ... also have a look @ the garbage collection in your php.ini file

Re: [PHP] Question about Sessions

[Jay Paulson]

okay if i read the manual correctly (too bad i couldn't find that page or i
wouldn't have had to ask this question :) ) all it stores in cookies is the
session id, which is exactly what i wanted to hear! Because i have a flash
navigation clip and i don't want to have to load the vars in the flash just
to pass the session id.. but i will if i have too..

thanks,
jay

something else? A link for the manual? :)
