ie. you must have an active session for php to destroy it.

the contents of $_SESSION are stored on the server only (unless your doing something very convoluted
or wrong IMHO) when a session is started a cookie is also sent to the browser
(under certain conditions the session id will be passed via GET param instead - BTWWF),
the value of the cookie is the session id, which is used to recognise the browser
(when session_start() is called).

check your php config:
<? phpinfo();
you can set the lifetime in your script, more info here:
