you don't need to close the sessions, they will automatically close once the user closes their browser.

Sessions are closed once you close the browser window. In your php.ini file, it is possible to change the length of time a session lasts (usually 30 minutes). You might find, for security purposes, that you wish to close the session after a shorter period of time, so that users are re-prompted for a password incase they leave their computer screen.

I wish there were a way for us to close YOUR session!

like said above, whe the browser is closed sessions are destroyed. you should probably have a logoff option for users, use the session_destroy() function

You can try session_unset() before the hearder to avoide duplicate sessions. Normally its not needed
