Question

i m creating two table(in mysql) named

i m using session id, so when user goes to logout( without checkout) then
i delete his information(personal and order) from both table )using session id,
BUT if he close the browser, or does not go to checkout(any reson) then how
to delete his information from both tables
please suggest me how to do this?

additional question:
is there any other way to do this whole process by some other manner.

Answer 1

You can’t detect when a user closes the browser or types in a new address. You basically need to have a “timeout” facility like the rest of the websites have.
