What exactly do you mean how many people are online? Are these people logged into a paticular system in anyway? Are you running a database with seshion cookies maybe?
Or are you simply just displaying a flat page and want to show who's online (without anyone logging in), therefore impossible?

You don't really know who's online, only that there is someone online. It can be a little deceiving, for example, I could open 2 browser windows and browse the site, and it would say "2 users online" when there's really only one. It would be more accurate to say "2 current connections to the web service".
Oh, right! That's simple enough! Sorry, I thought the user was asking how do I do a "Who's Online" script, like naming logged users such as the one on this front page (I think - haven't looked in a while). That would be impossible without some sort of seshions.

We'll need to know what scripting language you're using...

Its quite easy to do what you want in ASP, I'm not sure how to achieve this in perl though, sorry.

Add this to your Application_OnStart in global.asa
Application("CurrentUsers") = 0
Add this to your Session_OnStart in global.asa
Application.Lock
Application("CurrentUsers") = Application("CurrentUsers") + 1
Application.Unlock
Add this to your Session_OnEnd in global.asa
Application.Lock
Application("CurrentUsers") = Application("CurrentUsers") - 1
Application.Unlock
Then to display this on a page just put
<?php=Application("CurrentUsers")
?>

But how can you know who's online if you don't use some sort of seshions? No one is 'logged in' anywhere?
