pocobueno1388 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 1) Make a datetime field in your users table called something along the lines of "last_active" 2) On your header page (so it is called on every click) put an update query that will put the current date/time in the last_active field (this can be done using NOW()). 3) Your query to pull the users who have been active within the last 5 minutes will look something like this: SELECT username FROM users WHERE last_active > (NOW() - INTERVAL 5 MINUTE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming from the OP using the word "member" they are wanting logged in users only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pocobueno1388 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Okay, so you are wanting ONLY logged in members. Give the method I supplied above a shot, post if you have any problems implementing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
