L Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 what I did was when a user logs in the online column turns to a value of 1 then on the top of each page I have the timestamp column updated, but if that timestamp hasn't been updated in more than 10 minutes I switch the online column to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterACE14 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 you could create a $_SESSION variable with the username, or ID whatever. and have that inserted into your MySQL database, and if it isn't set on whatever page they go to, you remove it from the database and log them out, but their is always the other small problems that come to mind. what if they close the browser? what if they don't log out? what if they don't login and hack the URL? Your best bet is probably to Try google and try and find a OOP script that works Sessions with MySQL, their are a few out their. The only really tricky part is setting them up.
