Guests online?

How can I know how many guests are browsing my website? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance

 

Try many of the available web counters which can even track no of pages visited and no of users online.

Ex -

1) histats.com
2) whos.amung.us

Try these

 

whos are the best I think but they are kinda slow sometimes.

 

are you referring to the visitor counters? or every page current visitors?

 

Whipped something up real quick... This lets you display number of guests online within the last 5 minutes.

<?php
	@mysql_connect('', '', '') && @mysql_select_db('') || die(mysql_error());
	if (mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `online` WHERE `online_ip` = '$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]' AND `online_time` > UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()) - 300"))) {
		mysql_query("UPDATE `online` SET `online_time` = UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()) WHERE `online_ip` = '$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]'";
	} else {
		mysql_query("INSERT INTO `online` (`online_ip`, `online_time`) VALUES ('$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]', UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()))");
	}
	$guests_online = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `online` WHERE `online_time` > UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()) - 300"));
?>

PHP:

Include that in any page and use $guests_online to display them on any page.

Execute this in MySQL for the table, and don't forge to fill in your MySQL info.

 CREATE TABLE `online` (
`online_ip` VARCHAR( 16 ) NOT NULL ,
`online_time` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL
) ENGINE = MYISAM

Wow thanks guys, you guys are awesome

 

The best solution is to use AJAX and PHP to do that.
Each time someone open ur index page add 1 into a flat file or db and when close subtract 1 (this can be made at window.close event)

Cheers

 

Reputation will be highly appreciated

 

Don't ask for reputation here at DP

If people like it than they will rep you

Also.. thanks for the script, I'm using it on my proxies now

Its because some really dont know about reps here . A line is worth thousand meanings

 

you could also use register globals, although not very secure, it should do fine for tracking guests.

 

No problem. I coded it up in a few minutes and didn't test it, I'm glad it works though

 

Also if you wanted you could modify Equaite's script and add another database field for the current page, then insert global variables on each page with a different name, then insert that value into the database depending on which page the user is on.

You could then show how many users are on certain pages like home, about us, chat room etc.

$_GLOBAL['pagename'] = "chatroom";

if($_GLOBAL['pagename'] == "chatroom"){

//INSERT chatroom into the page field

}elseif($_GLOBAL['pagename'] == "homepage"){

//INSERT homepage into the page field

}
