premiso Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 You have to do it with last_time_seen. Basically you cannot really have an up-to-date deal the best way is to have a table with the time the last user is seen, if that time is greater than X minutes they are not longer online. SO you would just check that on page load to see whose time < X minutes if it is they are considered online. Along with that you have to set the last_seen each time the user goes to another page.

flyhoney Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 If you're using a database to manage user's sessions, you could simply query the database for all active sessions. That should tell you how many user's are logged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
