Destroy Session when close browser

Hi guys, i've been sratching my head finding a way to solve this problem, i have a user login using PHP session, when a user close the browser without login out the session stil remains, so when the user opens the browser again he won't have to log in, cause the session exists yet.

I need to destroy the session when the user closes the browser,
my php.ini has a session.cookie_lifetime = 0 configuration, but the session seems to never expire.

does anyone know a way to do that?

yes, i know how to set cookies and i know they're easier to handle, but i want to handle user sessions with php session though :P

It's a no go. PHP sessions are stored on the server but the session id is a cookie. In the process of using sessions you will inevitable use a cookie.
