Hi

I want to have a PHP script to show whether members are online or offline...

I want it so when they sign in the filed 'online' in the 'users' table is set to 1..and also set the 'last_active' filed to the time...I can then set this at the top of every page..

But the part im stuck with is how to set it so that after a certain time of inactivity (Say 10Mins) there status will be set to offline automatically..(Therefore setting the Online filed back to 0)

Anyone able to help with the coding..or know any good tutorials ??

Thanks

Here ya go:

This one requires MySQL so if that won't work for you try looking on hotscripts.com, there are a ton of different counter scripts on there but they're not tutorials, just already made scripts.

hope that helps

Thanks Ill use that to show the number of members online

But would I be able to create a script so that...

say i had a table with users and a field named 'active_time'..Then each page loaded can update the date and time of that field..

So then on a page to display all the members...

I then wants a script that says...

If the active time of this user is more than five minutes old display offline.gif otherwise display online.gif next to the row which displays all their data

Thanks
