Hello all,
I'm guessing that what I'm asking is pretty easy but I can't find the solution for it so maybe it's not!
I create a session for each user that logs into my system.something like that:
$_SESSION['user']=array(..
everything is working fine but I need a way to know who is logged in to my system so I need to write a script that loops through all the $_SESSION['user'] and output some of the session data.
Is this possible?
Thanks

yes; in a sense, you count the sess_* files in /tmp : they are the established sessions' "server cookies".
Alternatively, you could log some activity in a database table, like "did this, did that, is at the search page", etc and using the DATETIME provided, deduce very simply who's on line or not and, more importantly, who's active or not.
Strnage thing that I've noticed :
I looked at the sess_* files in the session_save_path and find out that when a session is over the (i.e. user closed all system windows) the file still exists but the session doesn't.
So if I loop through these files I'll get old sessions that doesn't exists anymore...
it's format is text and is really easy to read...
sess_isNS|b:0;sess_osWin|b
variable_name|type:value {;variable_name|type:value
type b : boolean ?
type i : integer
etc
reading it :
1) read it as string with $thevar=file('sess_...');
2) explode on ';'
3) foreach element, explode on |
4) element[0] is the variable_name, element[1] needs to be exploded on :
5) done
6) loop

It's possible if you have complete access to your system. Do do that, you will have to read each file of your session_data directory. This will contain the information that you're looking for.
