changing value of variable in another script

[skottieb]

Hi,
How is it possible to edit the value of a php variable in
script from another. The main problem is the variable is
a user's browser after he/she logs in, so far the only way
destroy it is to close the browser, refreshing dosent work.
this also means the script has run and the variable probably
exists in php?? the variable I am talking about is
$PHP_AUTH_USER.

As you can see this can become a security concern if a user
forgets to close a browser but has left the site. the site
would still be accessible thru: back/forward buttons,
History, Favourites and the location dialog. This is not
accectble behavoiur. simply calling
"header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized"" does not clear the
browser, stored so now I am trying unfruitfully to clear
in php.

All help will be greatly appreciated
