Or make it add the new time stamp to header so each time it loaded they put in a new time stamp.

My game shows the users online and it shows the number of seconds since they made their last click.

if something like this is still wanted I can make it work but I don't want to put a lot of time into something that people don't really want.

I'll be honest tho this script is written in a code that I don't really work with a lot, I was playing with it just to see and I got the cron 1 minute thing working, that is pretty simple but i was having a problem getting it to read the time stamp right.

I work in php but this thing is totally different from the way that I write. I am sure I can get the time stamp to go but like i said i don't want to spend a lot of time if really isn't wanted.

I fixed the posts. ^.^

Anyway, some of your suggestions might work, but they'd take up a lot of resources. Redoing a timestamp EVERY time someone loaded a page? I had a small site that got over 2000 page loads a day. I can't imagine how much it would be for a larger site.

Maybe make the session time out shorter, then everytime someone logs in record in it a new table and have a cron run by every hour to check to see if they're still logged in.
