RE: How to send a SID in a security way

I had thought about this idea to storage the session information in a
database. However, what's happening if a user just closes the browser
without logout from the application or if the browser crashes. The session
will be in the database and the user is gone. How to track this?

Thanks.

What about writing a function that will store some of those required 
variables into a db. Then on the second site, open a link to the first db 
and query for those values that you need?
