in reply to Users Online script that works??

Since HTTP is a stateless protocol, the "users online" is a meaningless number, unless you defined it as "authenticated users active within the recent N minutes" or something like that. And once you get a definition, the implementation is straightforward, because the definition tells you what you have to look at and how to interpret the results.

    Wow! Thanks for the speedy reply Randal! :-)

    I *think* I understand what you're talking about, and the usersonline script
    that I mentioned above does have a default time of 15 minutes: 
    #The number of minutes the user is assumed to be online after a hit. (
+default 15)

$minutes = 15;

    [download]
    However (for whatever the reasons), I'm unable to get the script to work...
    I do have SSI and have followed the install directions as faithfully as I know how (twice now!)
    anyhow...

    Thanks again Randal,


    -Bob
