Right now, when the user comes to a page a session is started; that’s working fine. But how can I detect when a user leaves that page? I need it so that when the user leaves the page, the session is destroyed.

You wouldn’t be able to use PHP to detect the user leaving the page, but you can send an ajax request via javascript on the unload event to destroy that users session.
