Quick-and-dirty way to do it: 1) use a centralized session system for your application, make it database-based 2) count the number of currently-valid records in your sessions table 3) display that count as 'number of people online' This approach has worked for me in the past. -- Chris Hartjes My motto for 2007: "Just build it, damnit!" @TheKeyboard - http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
