query to get number of users online?

[willms_jay]

can anyone help me with a query that will get number of users online?

i tried this :

PHP Code:

        // Returns the total amount of people online RIGHT NOW!

    function getTotalUsersOnline() {

        $query = "SELECT userid FROM `session` WHERE userid != 0";

        $result = mysql_db_query("sampleci_samplecitynet", $query); 



        if ($result) {

            $numOfRows = mysql_num_rows ($result);

        }

        return $numOfRows;



    } // end getTotalUsersOnline() 

but it doesn't give me the correct number of users online.

can someone assist me?

thanks in advance!

you have to also look how long the users in session are inactive

look into index.php to see the proper query
