    A session only expires in three cases:
        a.) An explicit session_destroy() is sent.*
        b.) The user-side cookie with the session key expires.
        c.) The session corrupts.+


    * You can also unset() or session_unset() all of the $_SESSION
variables, but it still won't kill the user's cookie.

    + The session won't always automatically be destroyed in this
case, so don't rely on it.
