hi friends,
i am new to php.
i have source code to logout from a page when that page is inactive for certain seconds.
and it is logging out .
but the thing is it is logging out even when my mouse and keyboard is active. i.e. even when i am moving or clicking my mouse pointer on that page.

please tell me what else i need to include in this code.

here is the code:

ajax.js

window.onload = init;
var interval;
function init()
{
	interval = setInterval(trackLogin,1000);
}
function trackLogin()
{
	var xmlReq = false;
	try {
	xmlReq = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
	} catch (e) {
	try {
	xmlReq = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
	} catch (e2) {
	xmlReq = false;
	}
	}
        //to communicate with a server after a web page has loaded.
	
	if (!xmlReq && typeof XMLHttpRequest != 'undefined') {
	//for instantiating an XMLHttpRequest object
	xmlReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
	}

	xmlReq.open('get', 'check.php', true);
	xmlReq.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
	xmlReq.send(null);
	xmlReq.onreadystatechange = function(){
		//  The 4 state means for the request response is ready and sent by the server..
		//200 if page is found and 404 if the page is not found.
			if(xmlReq.readyState == 4 && xmlReq.status==200) {
			if(xmlReq.responseText == 1)
			{
				clearInterval(interval);
				alert('You have been logged out.You will now be redirected to home page.');
				document.location.href = "index.html";
			}
		}
	}
}

check.php

<?php
session_start();
$stillLoggedIn = timeCheck();
echo $stillLoggedIn;

function timeCheck()
{
	if(!isset($_SESSION['isLoggedIn']) || !($_SESSION['isLoggedIn']))
	{
		session_unset();
		return true;
		exit;
	}
	else
	{
		// user is logged in
		require 'timeCheck.php';
		$hasSessionExpired = checkIfTimedOut();
		if($hasSessionExpired)
		{
			session_unset();
			return true;
		}
		else
		{
			return false;
		}

timecheck.php

<?php
	function checkIfTimedOut()
	{
		$current = time();// take the current time
		$diff = $current - $_SESSION['loggedAt'];
		if($diff > $_SESSION['timeOut'])
		{
			return true;
		}
		else
		{
			return false;
		}
	}
?>

firstpage.php

<?php
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['isLoggedIn']) || !($_SESSION['isLoggedIn']))
{
	//code for authentication comes here
	//ASSUME USER IS VALID
	$_SESSION['isLoggedIn'] = true;
	/////////////////////////////////////////
	$_SESSION['timeOut'] = 5;
	$logged = time();
	$_SESSION['loggedAt']= $logged;	
	showLoggedIn();
}
else
{
	require 'timeCheck.php';
	$hasSessionExpired = checkIfTimedOut();
	if($hasSessionExpired)
	{
		session_unset();
		header("Location:index.html");
		exit;
	}
	else
	{
		$_SESSION['loggedAt']= time();// update last accessed time
		showLoggedIn();
	}

}
	function showLoggedIn()
	{
		echo'<html>';
		echo'<head>';
		echo'<script type="text/javascript" src="ajax.js"></script>';
		echo'</head>';
		echo'<body>';
			echo'<p>';
				echo'Page 1. User is logged in currently.Timeout has been set to 5 seconds. If you stay inactive for more then 5 seconds, you will be logged out automatically and redirected to home page.';
			echo'</p>';
			echo'<br/>';
			echo'<p><a href="second.php">Go to second page</a></p>';
			echo'<br/><br/><br/><p><a href="">Back to article</a></p>';
		echo'</body>';
		echo'</html>';
	}

similarly second page.

You'll have to use Javascript to detect mouse events and keypresses within that page ...

When a mouse event and/or keypress is detected you just reset the inactivity countdown timer ...

Hope this helps ! :)

I forgot to say: Please post using code tags !
