People Online

[Dunghill_Dave]

Hi, does anyone know of a tutorial which shows how you can list the names of people online, just like this forum; Browsing this forum...blah blah blah and 5 guests?...Oh yeah, in PHP please, also, i am a beginer, never done PHP beore!

Thanks

Dave

[phpman]

the easiest way to do this is to get the users browser session and store it in the db, then if they are a member they get a column in that db set to there userid then query the db and it will get all the user id and the non user id's.

if you have never done this than I suggest you start reading the manual at php.net

My recommendation would be: start with an easier project and learn PHP first.

When you go into engineering, you don't build a car on the first day, do you?
