Session Variables

luckybob

How would I track session variable with an admin account?

On my site I have many user accounts that log in and create a session, I want the admin (me) or the manager to be able to see who is logged in.

Thanks

I'm guessing you didn't get this sorted.

Anyways depending on the number of members there could be a few ways to do it,
Mysql table, ( when a user logs in they are added to a table) you can then query this table and do what you need. ( if you add there session id you may be able to log them out? haven't tried this but will do sounds fun)
Array, ( for a few members only,) this is fairly easy to do, but will take memory and time, to search and sort, perhaps a linked list would be better here.

Anyways hope that helps

Ok, I see what you are saying. I could do it that way, but I was more internested in actually being able to call the sessions even though i was not the owner of them.

I was wanting this to keep track of who is logged on and to do a global log off in the event of an update or whathave you.

Hmm, global log off, well ok hows about a function for that?

ie
(psuedo-code time 😛)
Array[]=select sid from logged in;
for 0 to max
sessionuset(array)
session destroy(array)
end

before running this you could change the name of the login script?

Maybe not the neatest but it should work.

not sure what you mean by call though
