[PHP-DB] finding out if a user left our website ?

2010-08-25 Thread Vinay Kannan
Hello Guys,

Wanted to know if there is a way for us to find out, when a user moves away
from our website( closing the window and entering a different url in the
address bar )

closing the window i guess, we could use the javascript onclose or something
similar but for the user moving away from my website by entering a different
URL is what i would like to be able to find out.

Thanks,
Vinay

Yeah. You and everyone else on the web... ;-)

Not possible really. The web (by design) is stateless. This is the same
reason that you can't cancel a long running mySQL query if someone hits
Stop in the browser or leaves the page (and your mySQL server will
happily keep churning away and then try to return the data to a
non-existant page). It's sort of a fire and forget system.

Best you can hope for is to keep updating a timestamp to know how long
they've been there (and an auto-logout after some amount of inactivity).

I think you can do that with window.focus in javascript.

Have a look at this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.onunload

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.onunloadBut, as someone
pointed out a few days ago, please do not post stuff that is not related to
PHP DB.

2010-08-25 Thread Karl DeSaulniers

Hello fellow PHPers,
Question,
1. Does anyone know of a good Open source MS SQLServer management  
software for MAC?
I have been charged with updating a companies Microsoft SQLServer and  
I usually work in MySQL.

Need a freeware if possible.

2. Is this ok to post here? If it is not, I will never do it again, I  
swear. :))

The only freeware one that I can remember is one that was written as a flex 
app. Can't remember the name, though. 

Other than that, you could try sourceforge.net for something. Problem is that 
it being windows based, most people want to charge for it.
