online status display logout

[xianaier]

Hi there!

I need help with my Homepage. It´s just a simple Homepage where friends of mine can watch partypics and chat with eachother. recently i wanted to add a feature so everybody (who´s logged in) can see everybody else who´s online on my page, so he can write a pm or something like it. The problem:

I tried to write down the members name in a database in the moment he logs in. But i dont know how to delete his name from the database when he logs out. the log out process is not defined in any way, the sessions just get destroyed when the browser get closed.

Thx in advance

The act of closing the web browser is a client side event, and php/mysql or whatever you are using is server side, hence when the browser is closed, there is nothing to trigger a server side event. However, there are other ways to show who is online, for example BODHost forum does so at the bottom of the page. Do some Google for a script...
