Hi all,

My web site enables a login from the client.

When the client has successfully logged in, a session variable is set.

My ? is.

How do I get a count of these sessions variables and read each one so as i might be able to give each user a list of who is logged in.

cheers

I don't know if it's possible that way but what you could do is maintain a list of logged in users somewhere (text file, database, etc) i.e. add the name to the list on login, and remove it on logout. You can then just reference that list each time.
Alternatively, if you're using a database to store login details, add an extra field called 'LoggedIn' or something, make the type 'bit' (in SQL Server) or 'Yes/No' (in Access). then use something like SELECT * FROM Users WHERE LoggedIn = 1

HI ya,
Thanks for your input.
I did in fact think of doing that originally however my thoery failed when considered how I would tell that a user had logged out if they jsut simply close the window and dont log out in the proper manner. I wont be ablt to run any code, to remove his/her loggin status.

Do you have any ideas how i could over come this?

cheers

Yup. Put the logout code also in global.asa - the file shoud look like this:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript RUNAT=Server>
	Sub Application_OnStart
	End Sub

	Sub Application_OnEnd
	End Sub

	Sub Session_OnStart
	End Sub

	Sub Session_OnEnd
	    ' Logout code here
	End Sub
</SCRIPT>

Save it in the root of your application. It won't run as soon as the browser window closes, but the session will time out eventually - depending on what your session timeout is.

wicked. thanks very much indeed.
