Thanks for the reply. However it didn't solve my problem. I have just added a setInterval(...) call at the client side that partially does the trick. But if the user quits the application and then returns later, he'll still have to login again, which is a total shame for the application I'm working on.
I'm really confused here; as always with php it seems, it's very difficult to know what goes in and out of the black box. I'm going to write another post on a related problem that I'm having, which is just as annoying and confusing: cookies don't seem to be properly handled with the sfGuard plugin, so not only does the user have to login again when closing the application but in addition, his information is never saved, which contradicts all best practices. Oh well, I'll post that and see if it's a known problem. Thanks again fo the reply!
