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

[shamsuljewel]

I want the statistics that how many users are in my domain.

that is I have many pages on my site...I want to count them all.

I found some php coding that uses file .txt..works fine but working only for a specific page

not for the whole site.

 

any suggestion will preferred..

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)

thanks for the idea...

but by using session I can only know the registered users..isn't it?

I need to know all the users registered login and guests also...

create a timestamp fro your logged in members, update every page they view.

and then run aquery "X users online in last X minutes". (recommended 5)

 

then do the same for guests but this time by SESSION.
