Re: executing a script on browser exit?

Use sessions and a database. For every page hit, increment a database field for their sessionid. To timeout, check a timestamp field first. Like this ( untested ): if($sessionid) $r = mysql_query("update table set increment = increment + 1 where sessionid = $sessionid"); Hans Anderson me@hansanderson.com http://www.hansanderson.com/ http://www.goofiness.com/ On Thu, 31 Aug 2000, Craig Simons wrote: > Hello all!
