You can only access sessions when you know the session id. Most sites handle online users in their database, store a timestamp each time a user loads a page. When you want to display the online users, check where the timestamp is between now and a few minutes ago. Note that without javascript (or flash/java/etc) there is no way to truly know if the user left or not. The session will stay active for a long time, depending on your php.ini settings.

Sessions working/not working in PHP

I have the following (below) session code at the top of each page..

error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
$userid = $_SESSION['userid'];
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
print_r($_SESSION);

Session persistence with a php script

The script is this:

but it seems not to like it if I add it from the webapps directory or from inside a directory under that. Is there some special trick to running php from inside tomcat ? I have tomcat set up the same on both servers and am fronting it with Apache if that adds options for me.
