Re: [PHP] online detection
On Wed, Apr 11, 2001 at 08:10:22AM +0200, [EMAIL PROTECTED] produced this golden nugget: Does anyone know how to detect when a user connects to the Internet similar to ICQ? I think you mean messages on pages like "321 user online"! As HTTP is a stateless protocol, you can't really know this!!! It's only an estimation - and you can use sessions to realize this (ask how many sessions are active - and end a session after a short time like 5 minutes!) witty There is a way to do it, _if_ the user is using an IM service, for icq the easiest way would prolly be to use the icq module for perl (i don't know whether there is a PHP class for icq), and then use that to generate your page... Mirabilis has made it possible to have the little "online" icon if you like... check out their site for more info... I dunno whether this is possible for AIM/etc... -- andreas.landmark -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Three main possibilities: (1) Install a wire tap at his telephone line, together with some logic to detect connection attempts (2) Do the same, but at his provider's dialin box. (more difficult) (3) Install a proper trojan on the user's machine Most criminals use possibility 3 ;-) -- Christian Reiniger LGDC Webmaster (http://sunsite.dk/lgdc/) A - American Association Against Acronym Abuse -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It doesn't detect whether or not a person is browsing the Internet. All it detects is whether or not a person is connected to the Internet AND using their application. Checking if someone is online is much, much more difficult. -- Jason Stechschulte [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- : - cut in regexps I don't think we reached consensus on that.
