Well you can change the default from 30 mins to something larger, but that has security consequences...
The problem with only closing when the user closes their browser is there's no way of knowing when that happens. Sessions are kind of a hack over HTTP, which is pretty much a stateless protocol. There's Connection: keep-alive, but not every browser supports it, and I don't think there's a way to hook into it from PHP. Plus, things can happen to TCP/IP connections.

What the hell does that mean, know me, you want to know me? Well you don't know me, and you'll never know me. Nobody knows me, or you, or eachother. Nobody in this world knows anybody else.
