Tracking session duration

In an effort to make a more robust user statistics plugin; I'd like to keep statistics on how long users are on my site. How can I tell when someone's session dies so that I can track the time? :\\ Jameson

Actually, that's next to impossible. You won't notice when someone leaves the site without logging out. So all you would record is when the session times out - but the visitor may have left the site long before that time. In other words: Such stats are worthless (IMO, anyway). bye, Dirk
