Hi, You can add last_request_time variable into the session when user logs into the system. Initially set the time at which user logs in to the system. Now every user click you need to check your last_request_time with the current_time. If the difference of last_request_time and current_time is greater than the thresold limit you have decided (idle time of user) than just logout that particular user otherwise set the current_time to the last_request_time and proceed..
I hope the algorithm is clear to you. Let me know if u need any help thanks Hardik Doshi --- sunwei <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks a lot. Ye, I am using Apache.
