This is because sessions are not permanent. A session is tied to the browser you have open. Once you close it, the session is gone.

If you want to keep some information permanently. You will want to use a database and store the information there.

  • the session should still, you can try anything like facebooks sessions, and the input username is with sql – atra May 26 '18 at 16:45
  • @atra those are not sessions. Cookies store data in the browser if it gets closed. That is what most sites use for login data. – Daniel Dees May 26 '18 at 16:46
  • so i should use cookies for store sessions ? – atra May 26 '18 at 16:47
  • @atra if you want to simply have the browser remember a person's login details so they don't have to put in their username/password each time they visit your site, then yes, use Cookies. – Daniel Dees May 26 '18 at 16:48
  • so ex facebook use cookies for store theirs sessions ? – atra May 26 '18 at 16:48
  • @atra First off, sessions and cookies are different things. But for what you are asking, yes Facebook uses cookies. – Daniel Dees May 26 '18 at 16:50

Session is automatically destroyed after you close browser, for permanent storage use a database(mysql)

  • the login username is stored on sql – atra May 26 '18 at 16:48
  • When you close browser and open it ...are you logged in? Or logged out? – Mardo May 26 '18 at 16:49
  • if i close the tab but not the broswer logged, if i close all the brrowse logged out – atra May 26 '18 at 16:50
  • Yeah, so once logged out session variable gets destroyed , you will need to again login to make it get printed....Use cookie so that you dont logout even after closing browser. – Mardo May 26 '18 at 16:51
  • yea i will use cookies ty! :D, bbtw i read that cookies are vulnerable ? – atra May 26 '18 at 16:53
