OK. OK. Here's what I need to know.

With my improved login and session system, I need a little function that will delete a session from the database. It's tricky, because, if I just simply delete a session that excesses a certain amount of time, but the user is still on the site, just taking extremely long to read something, or is away for a while. But if I make the time too long, people will assume the other person is online, but they left ages ago.

How would I go about deleting sessions from the database when they actually leave? Or how long would you recommend a session to last?

What I'm basically trying to do is make things a little more accurate.

Would you say after about half an hour of no activity, the session should be deleted? Or what?

Ok, here's what IPB basically does...

it only SHOWS users that have been active in the last 15 minutes (settable in the ACP).

it DELETES users who haven't been active in over an hour (when the task runs).

My recommendation = put into your configuration settings for both. Then, anyone you give/sell this to, can't really complain because they have the control. Something like:

Session: Time of inactivity before the user will not be shown as 'Online'

Session: Time of inactivity before the user's session will be deleted completely

Yep, I already had the changability thingy, for how long sessions last and stuff And thanks for the advice
