Is it possible to creat an active users list with a database for example. When the user enteres the site he or she is given a unique id then added into the database then upon leaving the site that user will be removed from the database table. Any ideas? ------------- They call me Bruce Lee |

You already got the idea...  Just use the IP address as the unique id, you can use cookies too to keep track of the user, but either way it won't be 100% accurate as cookies can be blocked and some users connect thru proxy servers that change for each page..., when you add an user to the list record the time and date on a field, everytime the users loads a new page update the time, and everytime you add or update an user check for records older than 5 minutes and delete them. That's it. ------------- FeRnAN http://www.danasoft.com/">
