If he/she is still online after let´s say 5 minutes, then a Javascript window is popped up. Notice that popup blockers kill more than 50% of all popups (a stat I implemented a couple of months ago on 2 heavily visited sites in Denmark). The popup window access a script, that for instance could be made with fopen(), fwrite(), fclose(), which opens, reads and write to a txtfile, that has the name of the session_id On the admin site, where the employee is suppose to see users, You can read all txt files in the dir with opendir() and readdir(). Of course You will need to have a clean up script to get rid of or move ended chat sessions. I hope this will give You enough ideas to start Your project :-) Sincerely Kim Madsen -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
