I was wounding if ther eis a script what tells u how many ppl are viewing your site, like

[3 people viewing your site at this moment]

or something to that effect.

HTML would be nice

but other are welcome,

thankx

I know a very good service www.spylog.ru but unfortunalty it's only in Russian

then thats not very good now is it

lol, hmmm try searching in google or something, i think there is a JavaScript script for that but im not sure. ill find out for ya

I think the only way to do this would be with server side scripts - as the scripts that have this feature use what is called a session variable to work out how many active IPs (note these do NOT always equate to visitors as AOL IPs are very dynamic).

You'll be hard pressed to find anything in JavaScript that does this, as the script would have to write to the server to let everyone else know that there is another user hanging around at the site... other than when it is used for Remote Scripting, JavaScript run at the browser should not have write priveleges on the server.

I forgot to mention that this kind of functionality (when done through the session variable at least) is only available to scripts running on your local server... there are no "add this code to your pages and we'll do the rest" services like this that would be accurate... something like this would require a script running on the same server.

OK thanks. i'll just leave it , seems like to much trouble

i dont think there is a way, to know...well at least i dont know how. although i do know of a way to let the user know how many times he/she has visited that site in a one day period which can be changed to weekly, monthly, yearly, eternity

I think most of those scripts like http://www.livehelper.com/ will do that. It will show all the users on your site and what page they are looking at. I can't remember the other big one that does that... But they are not free.

I wrote this script in Cold Fusion about a year ago, but it only works when NTLM security is enambled on the server (Users login to you website / domain). It would not only tell you who is on your site right now, and what page are they viewing, but you will be able to send messages directly to each user. Unfortunately as good as it sounds, this script can only be used in corparate Intranets, where every user have NT username.

thankx for the input guys

I think you could do this in PHP and just have a script that counts the number of active sessions. I am not sure on the details however. sorry.

Just goto hotscripts.com click on PHP and than look in any category, I think it was in Coutners.

Well, There are a couple of products out there that will show you your site traffic in real time. I can think of one in particular...

Bravenet still has a free version of HumanClick, which is a LiveHelper type feature.

Went back and looked, the free version doesn't include all the pages of a site and is the basic chat service. I've used LiveHelper and HumanClick Pro and they are great for seeing people on your site (plus lots of other extras), but make sure you're sitting when you look at the price.
