Not very sure what you meant. Your last paragraph said you want to know who else is visiting the same page. Is it something like what you see on the main page of this forum?

Either u use a text file to store the user count in, or u try the"Shared Memory Functions" or check out Semaphore, Shared Memory and IPC Functions. I do not know how to use em, but i remember there's some class to simplify access. But i forgot its name, so maybe a search at hotscripts.com can help u.
