1. Product Description
_______________________

A PHP class to help get info how much time users spend on a page or on the entire site in a session or the total time.
It can display the time and count it in real time so you can see the seconds, minutes, etc. changeing

This is not a finished script. I only tested it on IE 6 Mozilla 1.4 and Opera 7.1
For other Browsers use: 
      $test = new time_online;
      $test -> userTO; // array with the time for te current session
      $test -> userTT; // array with the entyre time (from every visit)
and display the times yourself

If you want to have access to the array with the times use:

If you want to display the time that the user was on the site or page call display_time() with these parameters:
