Question

I don’t know if this is possible. What I’m looking for is the event (if there is one) that launch’s to end the session. I’d like to somehow grab that and perform my own action right before the session is ending. The reason for this is I have need for one of the session variables set that I will lose as soon as the session expires.

I feel this is probably a poor way of achieving my goal if even possible. It’s friday 7:00pm and still at office. imagine my excitement trying to find a solution.

Thanks Guys.

You could save the data in a cookie and control the expiration date:

setcookie("TestCookie", $value, time()+3600);  /* expire in 1 hour */

This way you don’t need to change the regular session functionality and allow them to expire properly.
