JasonO Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 This is forum software and is built into it. Are you trying to do this with your website or are you using some CMS or Forum software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbarr Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 In a regular site what you would do is generate a session for each user when the log in. Then insert that in to a table called something like active_users. You would then query that table and display the information on the site somewhere. When the user logs out, you have the script delete their information from the active_users table. That is a very basic idea of what you have to do, but it should lead you in the right direction.

redarrow Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 exspire the cookie via the time function here an example from php.net ok. <?php $value = 'something from somewhere'; setcookie("TestCookie", $value); setcookie("TestCookie", $value, time()+3600); /* expire in 1 hour */ setcookie("TestCookie", $value, time()+3600, "/~rasmus/", ".example.com", 1); ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
