I don't quite follow it. ------ I mean if I knew all active session id's I could compare them to the members_online table. An example in pseudo code: // Member logs in, store session id, login datetime, last visit datetime: INSERT INTO members_online // Get active session ids from table: php code // Compare active session ids with table sessions: for ($i=0; $i < table rows; $i++){ if ( !isset( session id from member $i )) { DELETE member from table } } >>If yes I could store the session id on a table and later check if isset. >> You could write the session id into a table when the session is started, >> along with the start time. >> Something like >> sessionid CHAR|starttime DATETIME|lastvisittime DATETIME >> You could then update this table each time the user visits a page, and >> delete it if the interval between starttime and lastvisittime is longer than >> you want.

I already use a class to perform this task. The problem is if a member closes the browser windows and then tries to login again before the specified timeout. Does Apache have a function like asp Session_OnStart, Session_OnEnd ? I am using IIS and PHP 5.0.4 Thanks in advance.
