Re: login problem

Dear SK, alternately, close previously opened A/C and allow current one. this is similar to wat yahoo messenger does and is a good safety measure. 1. If u use this technique, ur problem of shutdown would be solved. 2. Alternately, maintain sessions (using session ID) in PHP. 2a. Or just monitor user activity periodically. If no activity for x minutes, log the user off. Keep an activity counter, and run a script in the background, to reduce the counter ever y minutes. On activities like click, mouse movement, page request, etc, increment the counter. Think semaphores in Linux... 3. Try AJAX. You can keep sessions alive from server side. When no feedback is received, log the user off. KM P.S. Pls send mails to the group rather than to me. On 6/26/06, suresh kumar <asureshkumar_1983@yahoo.co.in> wrote:

Q. why do you want to assign more than one A/C anyway? and if its an invitation to someone else, then you MUST not stop that new person. he would be a valid subscriber, won't he? No PHP here :(, guys would frown...
