I would start with a custom session handler. Possibly something similar to this: http://3ft9.com/mysql-sessions/ Modify the methods that write the data to MySQL so it first extracts the username and stores that in a separate field so you can do lookups on that. Set the lifetime to something relatively short (say 60 seconds), then have a webpage that the user must keep open that is making a request to the server at roughly half that interval (e.g. every 30 seconds). Modify the Session::gc method so it does what's necessary to cleanup the network config when a session expires. Add a method so your login system can query the session store for existing users with that username, or alternatively modify the Session::write method to refuse to store a session if there's already a session for that username. Using a timeout rather than trying to detect when the user closes their browser is preferable primarily due to the unreliability of that detection. A number of browsers have rules around the use of the onunload event that may prevent you from seeing a particular user disconnect. Personally I would be looking in to implementing this at the network level rather than PHP. The network must be able to detect when a device drops off the network, and that would probably be a better place to implement the cleanup. -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/
