please i need a help, i want a php script that help me display the numbers of visitors in my site and to display logged in users and guest. thank for being of help.
as this is something exactly i was doing for the past few days i can help as i figured, the best and the easiest way to achieve this is using Jscript, where a periodical updator will update the the availability of the user this is okay for ma chat script, but i dunno whether its okay with you, but i assure that it's mostly accurate than the previous method i used: of keeping the track of the user using a cookie and the work done by the user but sorry im in a kindda hurry so basically the logic is, when the user sign in-> you take him to a new page ex:homepage then the user is added to the online table and in the header of the site, you put the update code, or a jS AJAX request every 30sec. to update the time() of the database and peridically, add another check, mostly a AJAX request to delete the records which have the time() filed updated more than before 1 minute so that's it D hope you understand, and the code is rather simpler and may be you can figure it out yourself however ill write it seperatly later [i ave it with the core files of the chat scirpt so that it takes time to make it as standalone]
You need to set up either a session for every person or a cookie and have each time one is created stored in an array based on its user type. Then count each array's length for the total. Once it expires though you need to remove that index from the stack.
