try the following in the function which closes the window or tab

unset($session_variable)

you can also try
destroy, session_destroy() methods

He's not looking for PHP code, but for a Javascript event to trigger the PHP session destroy (I think).

See this, it's an example with jQuery. In that event, you can use AJAX to call a PHP function to clear the session.

Hi , i need sample code with jquery and call php file to destroy session when user close the tab or window or refreshing page. Whenever i click the menus in the page, no need to do anything.

when user close the window or tab or refreshing page, then call the php function.

<script language="javascript">
<!--
window.onbeforeunload = domystuff;

function domystuff(){
   //...
}

Is it an idea to auto expire a session after x minutes? So for example when a user leaves your website and remains inactive for 10 minutes, after which he returns, your system detects he has been away too long and unsets the session?

SHow your code - we don't have a crystal ball. Also 'fast' is as fast as we decide it is. We are volunteers not slaves. Unless you want to pay for a premium service?
