    I don't record that by myself, instead I'm using Google Analytics who provides that and many many more useful info

<body onunload="tellUser();">

<script language="javascript">window.onload=timer();</script>
</body>
</html>
    HTML:
    You could do it like that, only instead of alerts use ajax and php to update a database or write to a file
