There's no way to tell if the user closed his browser. Or turned off
his computer, unplugged from his network or any of a number of things.
You can use a short timeout, i.e. 15 minutes, and if they don't do
something in that time period their session gets deleted.
But one of the ones I like best is if one person logs on while another
one is using that account, the first one is logged out automatically.
It gets to be very annoying - and they soon stop sharing their account
info with others.
