We couldn't do this accurately because of the inherent limitations in HTTP, sorry.

i could probaly make sum in like this
maybe u start off with a query like this ( i duno how your tables are set up) but im guessing like this ? :
ALTER TABLE user ADD timeonline int(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'
then the function would be sumhin like
function dotimeonline($timeonline) {
$days = floor($timeonline / 86400);
if($days == 0) {
$ftime = "";
} elseif($days == 1) {
$ftime = "$days Day, ";
} else {
$ftime = "$days Days, ";
}
$tothours = $days * 86400;
$newhours = $timeonline - $tothours;
$hours = floor($newhours / 3600);
$ftime.= "$hours Hours, ";
$totmin = (($hours * 3600) + ($days * 86400));
$newmin = $timeonline - $totmin;
$minutes = floor($newmin / 60);
$ftime.= "$minutes Minutes, ";
$totsec = (($hours * 3600) + ($minutes * 60) + ($days * 86400));
$seconds = $timeonline - $totsec;
$ftime.= "$seconds Seconds Online";
return $ftime;
}

Yup. If someone comes online for 1 minute, and then closes the PC down or whatever, surely that'll still log the user as here for the full 20mins yes?

no ! u could set this
$inactivetime = 5; // Configure Time Out Time Here in Minutes!
$factivetime = $inactivetime * 60;
$newtime = time() - $csuserinfo[lastactivity];
if($newtime < $factivetime) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET timeonline=timeonline+$newtime WHERE userid=cs user id'");
}

No no no!
HTTP is inherently stateless. You will *never* accurately tell how long someone has been at a web site. Session tracking used in this message board, other web apps, indeed *any* client-server environment using that protocol is mere hack that *assumes* you're going to stick around for a set length of time.
The code you have pasted does nothing more than manipulate a few variables and write this approximation to the database.
If nothing else, thats an extra DB query when we're trying to make the site *more* efficient and responsive, not less!

HTTP isn't stateful like ftp.
Once u request and recieve a response from the server, thats it. The server will never know if the client is still viewing the page.
there is no way of knowing whether or not the client is still viewing the page.
and like ian said u don't wanna be having queries coming from left, right and center!
