Hi ppl

I’m looking for a way to display the total number of registered users on  
my site, and also how many are logged in.

Can anybody help out?

Cheers  
KK

This is highly dependent on your particular use case and site structure.

How do you store registered users? If in a database, run a database  
query  
that counts the number of rows of active users. How do you store login  
sessions? If in a database, run a database query that counts the numbers  
of  
rows of logged in users.

There is no generic answer to this question.

HTH,

Felix
