Don't do that. :-) Instead of crawling through everybody's session data all the time, just have each page hit "register" the user's current page and timestamp in their DB profile. Then a simple SQL query against the DB tells you who is looking at what. The session data could easily get much much much to big to load/decode easily/quickly. A single update query on a pageview should not kill you. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
