its all in the database.

everytime a query is posted or a page is viewed, a time is recorded at the correct place.

for example when a user opens a page, you can store time in the user table.

then just query the database for users where time is less than say 10 mins.

thats how i would do it.

Howdy… :slight_smile:

I don’t think there is much people can help without knowing where you are from…
You might want to specify where you want to implement that functionality…

For example, this forum uses vBulletin and some other things like phpBB has that functionality added in it as well… Speaking of which, thread like this might help you understand better on what’s needed to implement the functionality…

I just did a quick search and this one might work for you… Do some more search at the site and you should be able to find what you are looking for… :slight_smile:
(I thought that you wanted to make one on your own, so I gave you the link to phpBB’s…)
