[PHP] Session Authentication etc...

2002-04-30 Thread Troy Lynch

I'm currently rewriting a website in PHP and something I'm looking to do is
login and logouts but also have a page to view who is logged at the present
time. I've kinda made some login code which basically checks the database
and then sets a cookie which I think I will change cause it looks like I
wonna do session variables. Anways anyone either know of a decent
authentication lib that I can use to check the users online and do
authentication or can someone point me in the right direction in doing this?

Thanks

Troy

Assuming that you do not require a user to logout, there is no reliable 
method to determine whether a user is (still) logged in. The best you can do 
is know (1) When they logged in  (2) When their last request was.

There's something called php_lib_login that you can google for.
