vBulletin Sessions.
Hi,
I know that vBulletin uses sessions, and I think that they use there own system rather then the PHP4 method? I understand how this would work, as you generate a random string, add it to a database - and pass it along with every URL, and then you pass all the other stuff you want to remember in that DB.
What I don't understand is, how do you make the information in the Sessions table dissappear after a while? If the user just goes away - how do I make the entry in the DB dissappear. If they were to log off, I could understand, but some people just close the browser...
Thanks!
PS - This was directly related to vBulletin, as I want to know how vBulletin does it, as I want to understand how the sessions work on my forum; Please describe the process with code if possible, if not I should be able to figure it out from what you say.
