Question

Hi since 3 hour I am trying to make this work but not getting the result as I want. I want to display user list with online and offline status.

Here is the table

and here what I tried to get status result.

$loggedtime = time() - 300; // 5 minutes

$query = 'SELECT userid, handle FROM ^users WHERE loggedin = '.$loggedtime.' ORDER BY userid ASC';

// below are scripts function qa_ pleses refer this http://www.question2answer.org/functions.php

$result = qa_db_query_sub($query);  
$users = qa_db_read_all_assoc($result); 

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

if($row['userid'] > $loggedtime){
    echo $row['handle'].' is online';
} else {
    echo $row['handle'].' is offline';
}

NOT THIS TOO

foreach($users as $user){
    if($user['userid'] > $loggedtime){
        echo $user['handle']. ' is online';
    } else {
        echo $row['handle'].' is offline';
    }
}

None of above code working. I am new to MYSQL and PHP just know basic so please help me to solve this.

EDIT:
I have tried now this but not working

foreach($users as $user){
                if($user['loggedin'] > $loggedtime){
                    echo $user['handle']. ' is online';
                } else {
                    echo $row['handle'].' is offline';
                }
            }

EDIT 2

$query = "SELECT
    userid, handle, 
    CASE
        WHEN TIMESTAMPDIFF(SECOND, loggedin, NOW()) < 300
            THEN 'Online'
        ELSE 'Offline'
    END AS 'status'
FROM ^users
ORDER BY userid";

$result = qa_db_query_sub($query); 

while($user = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    echo $user['handle'] . '<BR/>';
}

NEW APPROACH

Please check this for new approach User online offline status – offline status issue

Answer 1

Since you fixed the user id comparison, let’s address the next issue..

You’re trying to compare a string DATE versus a unix timestamp. Let’s make them the same type and compare:

foreach($users as $user)
{
  $user_time = strtotime($user['loggedin']);
  if($user_time > $loggedtime)
  {
    echo $user['handle']. ' is online';
  } else {
    echo $row['handle'].' is offline';
  }
}

Overall not the best way to approach this problem, but it might get this working for you. The database solution above is probably best.
