abdfahim Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 How can I know that when a user is logged in? Like I want to store each login and logout time of each user in a database.

Aureole Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Create a timestamp when they log in and another when they log out. When they log out subtract the first timestamp from the second, giving you the amount of seconds they were logged in for then update the database with that. You could then use date() (I think) it may be time(), to change the timestamp into something more readable. I'm not sure if it's date() or time() or maybe even something else, working with dates and times in PHP is something I've not entirely grasped myself yet, someone else could probably help you more...

cmgmyr Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 What I usually do is have a "last_login" (date_time) in my users table. When the user logs in I just update this with NOW(). If you want to calculate how long your users have been logged into your site check this out: http://www.bytemycode.com/snippets/snippet/736/ I wrote that for a few of my sites and it works well. Hope that helps! -Chris Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/77128-total-login-time/#findComment-390625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdfahim Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Well .. when user login or log out manually, then its very easy to collect time. But my problem is, if any one cross the browser window instead of clicking on logout button, then what happens? How can I catch the timestamp of that moment?

phpQuestioner Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 create a session that creates your timestamp and if the user closes the window, the session will be destroyed and then create a timestamp once the session is destroyed.
