After closing processing

[ing_rivera]

If an user of my webpage enter to one of my game rooms he will be inserted into a temporary table on mysql DB.

When he closes his window, what I am doing is on the unonload event(reload,close or back) I open a new hidden popup window with window.open and on this popup I run my php script to remove this user of the temporary table mentioned before.

I really don't like using afterclose popups in order to run a phpscript. So can anyone tell me what can I do to avoid using this popups?

I would like that all the processing even if he closes the window is done in that same window that he's closing. Any other idea is more than welcome too.

Thanks,

Christian

I'm not really sure how "temporary" these tables are, but you should experiment with HEAP (MEMORY) tables. Look it up on mysql.com

Let's say I have a mysql table named=onlineplayers

If someone enters the website there's a command that says
INSERT id INTO onlineplayers

When he onunload the page I open a popup with a command that says
DELETE id FROM onlineplayers

That's why I say temporary table, the table is permanently but the players is going to be there only temporarily.

I would like to execute my "DELETE id FROM onlineplayers" from the original window and not from a POPup.
