What strategies does everyone use for tracking who is on your site at a given time? For instance, let's say someone wanted a count of the users who are currently logged in, how should one go about doing this?
Currently, what I do is create a application array that stores a username and the time the user last requested a Web page (called tolr). With each page request, the system purges records in the array whose tolr has exceeded the session timeout for the application. This doesn't seem to me like the best way to handle the matter - obviously, users could leave the site long before their tolr runs out. Anyone have any ideas?
