You'll probably need DB sessions/login.

create another column named 'Status' in the usermaster table of your database and while the user logs in set the status to 'active'.So on your webpage you can get the count of all the online or logged in user as

"select count(*) from usermaster where status='Active' "

Similary set the status to inactive while logging off from the website

Just to jump in there - if user doesn't log off - permanently active. Perhaps the status should be changed to 'last impression' field, so that users only active if opened new page in say last 20 minutes, regardless of whether user is logged in. There are more sophisticated methods of course, but this seems reasonably lightweight.
