Users Online

Note: Read The Comments.

First of all the mySQl query.
Code

ALTER TABLE `members` ADD `online` VARCHAR( 12 ) NULL;

That'll add the field online to the table.

Next you will need to save this file as online.php.
PHP Code

<?php
$logout_time 
300//mili seconds to stay logged in
$current time(); //current time
$offline = ($current $logout_time); //do the math for the logout time
if($logged[username]){ //if they are logged in
    
$update mysql_query("UPDATE `members` SET `online` = '$current' WHERE `username` = '$logged[username]';"); //update their status
//end the check and such
?>


Not much to it really. Just a few variables that will be used for setting users as online and such.

Next you will want to stick this code where you want the users to be displayed.

<?php
include("online.php"); //get online configuration and such
$get_online_users mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `members` WHERE `online` >= '$offline' ORDER BY `userlevel` ASC"); //get all online users
$total_users mysql_num_rows($get_online_users);
if(
$total_users == 0){ //see if anyone is logged in
    
echo "No Users Online!"//there isn't =O
}else{ //maybe....
    
$i 1//the variable 'i' is 1
    
while($online mysql_fetch_array($get_online_users)){ //loop online users
        
if(($i 0) && ($i != $total_users)){ //see if i is the same or not of total online users
            
$comma ', '//if it isn't then theres a comma
        
}else{ //or....
            
$comma ''//if there isn't theres no comma
        
//end check
        
echo "<a href='members.php?user=$online[username]'>$online[username]</a>$comma"//echo the online users with the comma
    
//end loop
//end
?>


Then thats that. If you get any errors please post a comment
