I am developing a private chat (more like IM) with php+mysql backend that keeps track of who talks with whom etc. There may be many users online (a few 1000) and I don't want users to download a whole userlist everytime they reload a page. Also I know that user has e.g. 5 threads opened so I want to check only for these 5 users if they are online and get their pipe ID. Every user also has his own profile page where I want to show a badge if he's online or not.
My current version works is made so that when user connects to APE server he gets a whole userlist of currently connected users and then I have to do foreach and search only for a single (or a few) users from that list that I need... I don't think this is the best way, especially when number of online users grows.. So I am looking for a solution how to make a webservice or smth that will enable me to check for each user by username if he's online and get his pipe ID. Is this possible? How can it be done? I am new to APE and I did only front-end development, the backend was left intact but I guess that what I need is something that I will have to do on backend, am I right? thank you! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "APE Project" group.
