After a few hours of headache ive made a who's online script for the freeChat lib , however my code is very messy and needs putting into functions , if anyone would like to see / have the code they are more than welcome , just reply or send me an email ..
The who is online is in realtime using AJAX + PHP + MySQL
Thanks
and nice work

Edit :
i should state why i created the script as reading your notes and so on it seems you wanted to steer away from MySql.
Well i started to think about a portal for my web site where people could get online realtime help , and had the brainwave of chatting .. exept without being invloved in the chats i would never know if someone was needing any help , so i made a kind of admin page where it would retrieve the users details from a database and the chan name they were in so i could join the chan to help them .... which has now gone into to being plugged into my user relation software on my intranet .. its all experimental @ the mo as im bored at work .. anyway updates as they happen
