Could you tell me how delete all the records from the following table when the user session expires or the user close the browser.
tablename: test
id sessions_id value
1 admin_1 12
2 admin_1 12
I know about Temporary table, but I don't want to use it... because I cannot fetch data after sometime I create the table.
Thanks :)
What I have tried:
function logout(){
//My query to delete the table
$this->session->sess_destroy();
redirect('login');
}
the above solution works fine but I was wondering what would happen if any user didn't logout..just simply closed the window.
Try this:
timestamp
column to your tableUPDATE
this column with the current timestamp for every row related to the current usercron
calling a PHP script in which every hour you DELETE
the rows where the timestamp is too old.Have a quick read of http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/session-handler.html. It explains how to save sessions in a database and gives you a complete solution.
<?php
// $sessions_id is your session id
if(empty($sessions_id) == true ){
//execute query
// for ex delete from test where sessions_id = '$sessions_id';
}
?>
