Well there really is no way of knowing if they left their computer or not,
or just shutdown their computer.  The only way that I know of would be to
use java, but that's not what you are using.

Good luck!

I realize that this can be done, but I would like to make it as instant
as possible.  I don't want to wait very long for the user to be removed
from the online users list.  Got any other ideas?  Thanks.

What I normally do in these situations is have two fields separated by
tabs
or commas or whatever you want.  The first field is the username and the
second field is a timestamp.

The timestamp can be updated every time the user writes a message, since
Im
sure you are logging also..  or after, say an hour, have their name
removed
from the list, although this might make them have to log back in :)

Every time someone logs into the chat go through the list getting rid of
any
usernames older than an hour or any other time.  And everytime someone
logs
off do the same thing.. or if you get a lot of activity, just go through
the
list when people logoff.

Cheers!
