Last year, I wrote a web interface for my school's annual music
festivals. This web interface allowed participating directors to
register their students via a website over the internet. At the end of
a director's session, they were supposed to hit a LOGOUT button which
would email them the logs of the current session. Also, if they tried
to submit information via the interface after 30+ minutes of inactivity,
they would be automatically logged out and the current session logs
would be emailed to them. The problem is that most directors just
closed their browser window without using the LOGOUT button, therefore,
their logs were not emailed to them. I want to write a server that
would keep track of currently logged-in directors and how long they've
been inactive, so that after thirty minutes had elapsed, it would email
them their current session logs without them having to use the logout
button. Could PHP be used to make calls to such a server?
