I started making a MMORPG to improve my web design skills. I managed to make users able to move around the screen and get some items with a combination of Javascript, PHP and MySQL.
I want to show all logged users at the same time moving around and push info to the user on what the others I doing but I have no idea how to do it. What are the general ideas/methods to do this?
Thanks

Try using this engine to accomplish what you want: MMO.js... it allows you to build real-time MMORPGs in JavaScript using websockets =)

You basically create a table called "online" with two columns "ID,Time" and whenever a player does some action it updates "Time" that's for the logging part.
And you get a cron job to check the database and if the Time in the database is greater than the current time minus (for example) -5 minutes (timing out time) DELETE the row.
