Re: synchronizing php functions

Well I have a system that people can login to, and I want to produce an array (or something of the sort) that holds who is logged in so that I can monitor it. The problem is that sessions are local to the clients machine so if I tried to put this information in the session then the only information that I would get back is the people that are logged in on my machine, not the server (Please tell me if I wrong in what I say here). Therefore I need to be able to but this information in the session and have it available to all sessions (sort of like the way static variables in Java belong to the class and not the individual objects that are created from that class). So if you undersatnd what I'm trying to do here and know of a way to do it I would love to here it.
