Destroy Session on Browser Close

[quote author="neofactor" date="1254718539"]But that is my point...

Most people close a browser instead of logging out.
Typical websites do it right... a session times out after a set period of time... and if you close your browser, your session is dead.

CI needs a hack to kill a session on browser close, and if you do that... there is no time out. It is one or the other... which seems strange.[/quote]

This is one reason to use the standard php $_SESSION. I do like the CI flash sessions, but find myself using $_SESSION quite a bit. What's wrong with $_SESSION anyway? I think a framework is supposed to make life easier, not harder, and there's nothing particularly hard about using $_SESSION.
