Hi,

That's the SQL table that I use to track sessions. Its one I created. I
have a functon that does a simple SQL query:
SELECT date_out FROM sessions WHERE user_id = 12
Then I check to see if if date_out != 0000-00-00 00:00:00 and log them out
if it doesn't. This method is both good and bad. (1) I have a master log
of all user logins. (2) I can force a user to log out. Overall, it was
just more work on the sessions. I guess I'd recommend this method if you
have to keep strong security in mind.
