PHP Sessions get expired when the browser closes.. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php see the manual now if this not happening there should be some issue with modified configuration files.

Remove onload="<?php echo $closeWin; ?>" from your code first and made change into your php code as below:

<?php 
     if (isset($_GET['destroySession']) && $_GET['destroySession'] == "true") {
        session_destroy();
        $closeWin = "window.close()";       
        echo "<script>".$closeWin."</script>";
}
?>

Hope this will solve your problem
