Question

I am currently working on my own shoutboxes using PHP, MYSQL and Jquery.

When a user has entered the shoutbox a message appears saying:

X has entered the shoutbox.

I do not want to store all visitors / users in MYSQL rows and so I was thinking I would need an array with a foreach script.

I’m not too sure how I should go about doing this, can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thank you

You could use a $_session variable, like when a user entered the shoutbox $_session->users[] = $user. $_session->users should be an array where you keep only their ids.
