I'm coding a site that uses mySQL, and I'm trying to figure out a way to determine whether a user is online or offline.

Obviously, when they log in, that will mark them as online. And when they log out, they will be offline.

BUT, the problem is with people wandering away from their computer or whatever. So I need a way for them to "time out".

How would you go about doing this?
