This isn't really a hardware or software question but I figured that this was the best section for it. I've set up a section of a site that uses .htaccess to control member logins. However, the session remains once a person leaves the site so I wanted to add a logout button.

The "old" method that seems to be recommended is a logout link that feeds a non-existant login details to the browser but apparantly that does not work anymore (on newer browsers). Example:

<a href="http://fakeuser:[email protected]/logout/">Logout</a>

I keep reading "it can't be done" but I see a lot of sites that appear to do it.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Not sure how many people around here set up members only sections on their websites. Or how many people actually know what I'm talking about...
