RE: [PHP] Time in php problem....

almost didn't respond to this given the wide dissemination and the broad nature of the question can't be done with any accuracy. you could, create a session or uservariable... have that transmitted with a screen refresh, or anytime your consultant moves within the site resetting an internal timestamp. failure to retransmit via refresh or movement within a specified time would cause expirey, have a function that logs the expirey date and perform your other functions from there (thats the easy part) This doesn't prevent your consultant from keeping a browser window open so that it can refresh. You could use javascipt code on your page with a popup window where your consultant would have to press submt to be logged in as online every so often, but the annoyance factor would be absurd. In short, try pounding out a base from whence to work from... you are likely to get specific responses to specific questions or problems... what you are currently asking for is a prepackaged solutions.
