I'm developing an app on localhost using:

Google Chrome 33.0.1750.154 m

XAMPP Version 1.8.3

I've been using these for a while now and today all of a sudden Chrome is not clearing session cookies when I close the browser (all windows), even after I restart my machine, session cookies are still set from last session.

I have this code at the top of my page:

<?php

session_start();

if(!isset($_SESSION['userID']))

{

        echo <script>alert('Username does not exist')</script>;

        echo '<script type=text/javascript> window.location=login.html;</script>';

        exit(1);

}

?>

Which worked fine, redirecting me to the login page after the browser has been closed, up until a few hours ago.

NOTE:

Tested IE10, IE11, and FF and they DO NOT exhibit the same behavior, they are clearing session cookies as expected.

I have also verified that the

Continue where I left off...

setting is unchecked.

Anybody know what's going on here and how to fix it?
