Online Ranks list

Hello,

Firstly, I'm sorry if I've chosen the wrong section to post this, if it needs moving, ofc feel free to do so. Secondly, I'm not a php user myself, it's my Dad who is helping me with my idea.

Basically I play an online game that currently has no online ranks list and so I thought about trying to set up my own for the time being. I thought about the way a forum has an online list at the bottom normally when someone logs in, and the name disappears after the person logs out or times out. This is essentially what I want to have for my friends and myself. The guild mate can open a webpage, and enter their ingame name. This will then appear in a frame as online. Once the person has closed the webpage, the name is taken out after timing out.

I would like to know if this is actually doable to begin with ;) and also if anyone knows how it can be done or if it already exists somewhere for me to use.

Thanks for any advice or replies,

Mike

Well, I would say do it using PHP Sessions. Have a session created when the user logs in. Then once they close out that session would be destroyed.
