Thread: Question about visitors online PHP script

Hello,
I have this great PHP script to show how many people are currently visiting the page...
But I want to know this:
Script:

Code:

<?php
$db=mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("user",$db);
$time        = time();
$clear_time  = $time - 600;
$update_time = $time - 30;
$ip          = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$onQuery = mysql_query("SELECT ip FROM c_online WHERE ip = '".$ip."' LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error());
$onCount = mysql_num_rows($onQuery);
....

About the clear_time & update_time....

If I want to make a longer session (instead of the time now)
Do I need to raise the 600 & 30 or lower?
As I see this $time MINUS 600...

So normally I would raise it (for example to 6000), but as I see 'time' MINUS something it is maybe lowering it to 60 instead...

Can someone help please?

It would help if you could share where those 2 variables are being used.

$clear_time
$update_time

$update_time is the time 30 seconds ago; $clear_time is the time 600 seconds ago.

$update_time is used to tell the script how often to update the database.

$clear_time is used to tell the script how long to consider a visitor as "current."

Thinking this through... if you want to raise the apparent number of visitors, you would want to extend those times, right? So you would raise the 600 number.

Test it and see this results. Practice trumps theory.
