A Question Regarding Session Lifetime

[SilverLeaf]

Hello,

I think that my question is actually the same one as in [url=https://forum.infinityfree.net/t/session-persists-after-closing-browser/53539]this topic[/url], but that thread no longer accepts replies and so I had to start a new one.

So, the problem is that previous sessions persist even after entirely closing and subsequently reopening the browser.
To demonstrate this, create 2 scripts. Launch this one before closing your browser:
[code]<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION['test'] = 'The session persists!';[/code]

Next, open this script directly after launching your browser again:
[code]<?php

session_start();

echo $_SESSION['test'];[/code]

If you do so, you will
 see the session persist message.
I know that the session data does not automatically get destroyed when one closes their browser, but what to do if I want to prevent resuming the previous session after reopening the browser?

Many thanks.

The answer in this thread should help you out:

Ahh, figured it out with the help of this post.
Turns out InfinityFree sets the default timer for the ‘PHPSESSID’ cookie at 24 hours, and to change it you override the cookie using the session_set_cookie_params(); function and set the expiry timer to 0 causing it to destroy when the browser closes.

session_set_cookie_params(0);

Amazing, thank you.
