Kinda interested on that, so I can check LIVE when he closes,opens,etc

Can't be done with pure PHP. You might be able to do something with JavaScript (for closing while on your pages), but without writing some client side spyware or browser plugin you will never be able to know when someone opens up there browser.

Is there any way javascript can send information to php?
like writing a cookie on the server or something like that?

If you want to check if the user is active while you are generating a page you can use: connection_aborted()

$DONE = false;
while( !connection_aborted() && $DONE == false ){
$DONE = true;
}

If you want to check when a browser quits then you need to use Javascript and DOM. I thought <BODY onUnload="alert('bye now!')"> might work but this will be triggered on a page refresh.
