When you say "audit"--what do you mean? By that, I mean, what do you plan to do with the data? Do you need to know the second someone times out, or can you check later?
If you need to know immediately, I think you may need to do something terrible with JavaScript. If not, or you can at least wait a little while--run a cron job (every minute, if you'd like) that finds all of the sessions that are past their expiration date. You can log them as you'd like, and then clear them out. -Jeff On Mar 16, 8:56 pm, Huuuze <huu...@ymail.com> wrote: > Jeff (and Jacob)... > > I appreciate your responses and I stand corrected.
