| Post subject: guest count |
My guest count never seems to go down.
I always seem to have 30-50 guests. I hope this is true but I know it can't be. I require (free) registration to access my site and I can't fathom 30-50 people surfing my site and getting my standard "You must register to access this" message.
Why is the count always high and how can I get the guest count to display accurate info?

Jason,
I believe this has to do with users who have "timed out", but the system did not recognize this and remove them. There are two adjustments I make to the pnSession.php file for my sites based on comments I found when searching the forum.
Open includes/pnSession.php
At approx line 83, change the garbage collection setting, such as
| Code:
|
// Garbage collection
ini_set('session.gc_probability', 100);
|
And approx line 240, add two new lines of code to delete session variables (I'm including the existing line that they should be placed above for your reference)
| Code:
|
// dmcl1 - next 2 lines added because user is not automatically logged out after timeout
pnSessionDelVar('rememberme');
pnSessionDelVar('uid');
pnSessionNew($sessid, $ipaddr);
|
If you search the forum for "garbage collection", I think you will run across Pete's comments on this. |

I found line 83 but when I search for pnSessionDelVar I only get a hit on line152
Here is the code around it
| Code:
|
/**
* Delete a session variable
*
* @param name $ name of the session variable to delete
*/
function pnSessionDelVar($name)
{
$var = "PNSV$name";
global $$var;
// Fix for PHP >4.0.6 By John Barnett (johnpb)
// unset($$var);
unset($GLOBALS[$var]);
session_unregister($var);
return true;
|
and I only find the rememberme around 467
| Code:
|
$where = "WHERE $sessioninfocolumn[vars] NOT LIKE '%PNSVrememberme|%'
AND $sessioninfocolumn[lastused] < " . (time() - (pnConfigGetVar('secinactivemins') * 60
));
break;
case 'Medium':
// Medium security - delete session info if session cookie has
// expired or user decided not to remember
// themself
$where = "WHERE ($sessioninfocolumn[vars] NOT LIKE '%PNSVrememberme|%'
AND $sessioninfocolumn[lastused] < " . (time() - (pnConfigGetVar('secinactivemins') * 60
|
So where should I add the lines you recommended?
Thanks
Jason |

pnSessionDelVar() is part of what you are adding. It doesn't exist in the current version. Look for pnSessionNew($sessid, $ipaddr). And put the delvar lines directly above it. |

I added this code and it seemed to make the count go down for a while.... but now it is still hovering around 50
Is there anything else I can do? |
