How to display all users who logged?

I knew a little bit about PHP and I'm quite new with it.
What does it required to display all users who logged into site?
I really need help!

 

There are two ways to do this: 1.Create a table, where everytime a user logs in, a record is added
2.Add a column in the user table, which tracks the last time a user logged in.

 

Here's my question, how am I going to track them?

 

How do you want to track them? A list of every time every user logged in? A list of all users who log in? You can't really "track" who's currently logged in, because a lot of people don't ever log out, they log in, then leave the site, and there's no way to tell if they leave. (The web is a "disconnected model" - you connect, get the page and disconnect, you don't stay connected while you're reading the page.)

 

How does everytime user logged and a list of users who log in works

 

Everytime someone logs in, you update a timestamp column, which keeps track of the last time people logged in.

If you want a overview of who's online, you might want to update the column every time an action is taken

 

Every time a user logs in - insert a new record in the database login table for that user.

A list - "select distinct login from logins"

 

I will try whenever I have time

 

Also, after inserting the timestamp into the database, use a script to update the timestamp for each logged in user (using a cookie). If the cookie is not present, the timestamp would be compared to a time value (usually 3 or 5 minutes) and after this period is over, just delete the user (user name or user id).

 

You better use the trick bellow than record a user logged in timestamps into database:

<br>You sure it works? The tutorial is quite complicated after all it's illegal.

 

I started to work with codes but I'm stucked with a problem. I had done the login page and the main page. But how I'm going to add the time stamp?
I mean when user press the login button, what should I do?
How does the time stamp works?
How am I going to add the time stamp to the specific user?

 

Have you ever tried to search for an answer before posting a question ?

The only two functions you need to get it up and running:

• http://php.net/manual/en/function.time.php
• http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php

 

He is looking for the full PHP code, I think.

 

i'll code it for you for $50. pm me if your interested.

 

I won't pay cause I'm learning instead of copying someone else works.

 

I really need your help.
