Codeigniter session destroy on browser close doesn't work

I'm using Codeigniter 2.2.0, trying to set my session in order to destroy session when a browser is closed. In my application/config/config.php, I have set 

 $config['sess_use_database']   = TRUE;
 $config['sess_expire_on_close']    = TRUE;

but it doesn't work. The session that stored in database is not destroy. I try to do this:

$this->session->set_userdata(array('user'=>'user1','login'=>TRUE));

and the session is stored in database with serialize user_data. And then I close the browser, and open the browser again, and run the same code above. Because the first session is not deleted from table, now I got 2 record in the session table with the same value in user_data column, but different session_id value. All I want is the first session must be destroyed and also deleted from database.

How can I fix this problem? Any suggestion?

Why don't you try an ajax request for expiring session:

var sessionExpire = function(e){
        //here ajax request to expire session
  };
window.unload = sessionExpire;
