How to know how many users are currently online at my site?

when they login you need to update a table (or flatfile or some setting of your choice) to add 1 to the number of people online - you will also need to store the time and some method of maintaining state (like a cookie or session var).

 

each page request you will need to update the time the user has been active. if they logout or the activity has been dormant for say 10 mins then remove them from the logged in brigaed and subtract one from the online count (if you use a database table you need only count number of rows of course)
