Hi,
I am new in php. I want destroyed session when browser close but not to close tab.

session_destroy()

When a session is completely destroyed is not always up to you. A user himself can decide when he wants to clear all website data. That can be when he closes the browser, but that can also be when he closes a tab. The only thing you have influence on is when you destroy their session, which can be, for example, when they press a "logout" button. But if you do NOT destroy their session, it will live until they clear their cookies/cache/etc.

sessions destroy itself after 30 minutes from time created, or when user closes the browser

its in default configraion for PHP
session.gc_maxlifetime in php.ini

From http://php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php :

session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which data will be seen as 'garbage' and potentially cleaned up. Garbage collection may occur during session start (depending on session.gc_probability and session.gc_divisor).

I must admit that I've never looked into this any further than reading what I just quoted. Could you expand a bit more upon this subject? What does "potentially cleaned up" mean, specifically?
