@rootNov 24.2017 — #Database flag... each device has to have its own identity, therefore if you have a login, that login request can check first to see if the account is currently logged in to somewhere, if so the user can be alerted and decide if they want to logout the device remotely or keep that login as they may be using their other device at the same time. Give the user the option.

Other components to this would be login time and last activity, that way if theres been no activity in a set period of time, you can assume the account needs logging out of that device from inactivity.

There is a graceful way of doing this that allows the user to be in control rather than enforcing something on a person, if this is for a top secret military research base then yeah, go for it, go for the log out method...

@itengineerDec 10.2017 — #You should be able do this with default php and web server settings (session saved on hard drive). Probably you use a framework which causes logout when the same user log in two times from different devices.

@rootDec 10.2017 — #Sessions are not saved themselves, they are generated as part of the web page and they are checked by the server and expired at a set time or refreshed as per your wishes.

You pass session data through the use of the session_start() call and then find out if you have a session already running. If you do, this ID can be checked in a database to a user for reference to that users activity on the site.

Sessions can be used to store data about a visitor and where they went on your site by a session id and still serve up content that they may be interested in.
