Hi,

IIRC there is a CRON service for periodic activities; check whether your provider offers CRON.
I do not know any details, I am sure Google does.

[EDIT] It is CRON, not TRON [/EDIT]

An alternative is to have the page auto refresh every ten mins.

Google "meta tag refresh" or "php header refresh"

The only downside is that you need a browser page constantly open for it to work.

Then use cron - ask your provider if your not sure if they support it - AFAIK both windows n linux servers usually support it

Looks very simple...I'll take a peak for sure.

Do your extensions support implementing things like dynami menus, breadcrumbs, sitemaps, etc:?

Yes, of course! There are some built-in extensions for dynamic menus, breadcrumbs and for sitemap.xml (for google).
Currently there is no extension for sitemaps in front-end, because CMS is relatively new and it's not much extensions at all. But it's very easy to write them. You can ask me here or through contact form on lightnote.net and I can help you to quick start.

You can identify online users with their sessions.

By the way , what do you mean by offline users Confused | :confused:

Re: php help

Marc Firth4-Mar-09 1:47

Using sessions: You could store a variable for each user in the database that stores the time they were last active. It's easiest to use unix time for this (number of seconds since 1974 or something).

The include a file on every page that checks to see:

PHP (Pseudo code):

//if the last time they access a page is longer than 5 mins (60x5 = 300)
if ($timenow - $lastactive > 300){
//user is logged out. 
//you could have a field isLoggedIn in database and set it to false
//redirect to login page
header("Location: loginpage.php");
} else {
//update database lastactive = $timenow for this user
//etc
...
}

Then to check to see how many users are online just see how many users have isLoggedIn set to true or ($timenow - $lastactive < 300)

I have a php program that uses sessions : there are about 12 variables. I understand that to initialise these session variables I have to add &nbs p; $_SESSION['variable']; can this be an array- eg? &nbs p; $_SESSION ['variable1,'variable2'] Is this done before or after registering the session variable. Is this initialization of session variables done once when the session is created or for each page? Thanks

Optional Information:
OS: Unix; Browser: IE

Already Tried:
I'm converting the program to run with PHP 5.0 with globals on - this is what exists on the home page:
session_cache_limiter('none');
session_start();
session_register('pass_action');
session_register('user_name');
session_register('user_input');
session_register('user_encrypt');
session_register('user_artist_or_org');
session_register('user_id');
session_register('artist');
session_register('copyright');
session_register('org_id');
session_register('organization');
session_register('store_user_name');
session_register('store_user_input');
session_register('store_user_id');
session_register('store_user_encrypt');
session_register('store_user_artist_or_org');
session_register('artist_id');

Somehow I have to initialize these variables.
I have not tried anything yet because the manual info is confusing to me.
Thanks

To set a session variable you first need to start your session:

<?php
 session_start(); /start the session
 $SESSION['testvar'] = "value1"; //set the session variable called "testvar" to the value "value1"
?>

Now if you open another page on your site that has the session_start() function called you can print the value stored in the session with

<?php
 session_start(); /start the session
 echo $SESSION['testvar']; //print value saved in previous session
?>

You will hvae to ensure your host has the session.save_handler and session.save_path php.ini values set. To test this you can try using my session test script:

http://www.joeceresini.com/testscripts/jc.sessions.phps

You can also see the values of those options in a php info file

<?php
 phpinfo();
?>

In PHP, this is done with the mysql_connect() function.
Syntax

mysql_connect(servername,username,password);

Parameter Description
servername Optional. Specifies the server to connect to. Default value is "localhost:3306"
username Optional. Specifies the username to log in with. Default value is the name of the user that owns the server process
password Optional. Specifies the password to log in with. Default is ""

Let me contribute to solving your struggling :

First, because all your php pages that access mysql must connect to the Db
it is a wise tradition to create an include file
[call it for instance "dbconn.php"] with the following content :
============================
<?php
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost","root","yourpasswd")
or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("yourDBname") or die("Select DB error");
?>
============================
[NOTE the "localhost" must change if the target DB is not on your system but on a Host]

then whenever you create a new php script start with :

<?php

include('dbconn.php');

. . . . . . .

AND THEN WHAT ??? (you will say)
Here is an extract for my scripts slightly modified - with a little more modification it fits all purposes :
$query="select ProductID, ProductName from Products where ProductID=1"; // an SQL query
$result=mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error()); // execure query

if (mysql_num_rows($result)==1) // if a record was found
{ $row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC);
//get record in array $row
echo 'ProductID ='. $row["ProductID"]."<BR />";
echo 'Prod.Name='. $row["ProductName"]."<BR />";
}
=======================
Good luck s4 - php is great remember !
