Hi Nick,
thank you for your reply, very interesting suggestion for the who's
online feature.
And yes, once I get hold of who is browsing, I want to store the data
in a table (may be 'users' with a status flag indicating they are not
registered).
But why rely on $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] (IPs aren't prone to
duplicates, two or more users behind the same firewall?), where
CakePHP automatically writes a 'CAKEPHP' (session, I think) cookie? I
mean, a part from not being to access to its value, just like
me :-) ...
Best,
Mario
