What will happen to a session that was never destroyed/unset/write_close-d?
Lets just say I have set the session to never time out. What will happen to the session if person finds himself at the login page and logs in using different credentials. Also just for the testing purpose, the login page doesn’t have redirect if session is set.
Will it overwritten and destroyed or never destroyed?
If your login sets all of the session variables, the session will be effectively destroyed by the new values.
If there is a variable that’s in the session that isn’t overwritten by the login, then it will persist. The session is overwritten rather than destroyed and set again.
