CI3 Session Not Expiring On Browser Close - elabuwa - 08-16-2017
Hi guys,
Using Codeigniter 3.1.2.
Below are my config details for session.
PHP Code:
$config['sess_driver'] = 'database';
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 0;
$config['sess_save_path'] = 'ci_sessions';
$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 7200;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;
I am told that upon setting the sess_expiration to 0 that it would be destroyed upon browser close.
However, this does not seem to happen.
Any idea?
Any method I can use to utilise this?
Using javascript seems not practical since it gets triggered when used the back button and when going to a different URL.

It is possible if you change the sess_time_to_update with 1 day (means session destroy after 24 hour)

I need the session to be destroyed when the user closes the browser

You can try this but make sure you clear your browsers cache before testing it again.
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 0);

Thank you for the reply.
I added your code to the constructor of the of the default controller.
PHP Code:
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 0);
}
But it still seems to have no effect.
Any idea why?
