User Name Logout Problem

[somaskarthic]

Hi

In my portal , the condition is such that , using one username and password user should login in only one system at a time. User may not be able to login in different system with same user name and password at same time. I'm using PHP for server side scripting and postgresql database. Development platform - linux.

To say poorly , i can avoid this by storing the current user in database and i can restrict them , if they try again . Whenever the user logout , Then that current user id is removed from current portal login user table . Incase , if the user has not manually logout. Then how can i clear that value in database.


Is there any other methods , to handle this situation?

Pls post your suggestions.
Thank n advance.

I would not want to make much fuss about this and code a bunch of checking programs.

Simply tell the user that he/she is still logged in and ask him/her if he wants to logout from the previous session in order to establish a new session.
