hello people,
im new here!! :D

BUT, i need help with 2 things....

ok, first thing...
I need a script that will tell other people how many people are online. But i want it to be able to scan a persons ip. So, it will show the persons name, if u no wat i mean. So, i could input say: 000.0000.0000 for the ip and put Johnny as his name so that when he comes on my site, people will see his name instead of "there is one person currently online on my site"

the second thing....
I need to have a script where it tells people if im online in MSN.

Can anyone help with these queries??

Thanks!!!,
Dave

you will need to capture the ip address through the server variables and put that into a database. but you also need to have something that will remove the entry from the database when that session is done.

Well, just so that you know... You shouldn't expect to get free contract programming services from this site. Otherwise, there are plenty of people here that are more than willing to help you while you write your own code. It is highly unlikely that you'll find a prewritten script that will suit your needs. Thus, you need to be prepared to learn ASP and do some programming of your own.

Lastly, before you even make inquiries into a server-side programming language such as ASP, you will have to know what your site host supports.

ASP is easiest to write this script in, as ASP knows when someone closes the site unlike other SSLs.

I presume you're referring to the global.asa file and its associated events?

I missed the word MOST, and yes I do mean through global.asa
