I have a website where users can add their friends. What I am trying to achieve is to show every user that who are their friends that are currently online. If any one knows a link to any script or tutorial that explains this, Please help.

code to set a user online
what you could do which im am gonna do is check the users are friends then on every link that user clicks it update's the (lets say) Time table with there id and the time + X mins.
now with the other friend looking to see who is online
check the time table for friends and check the friends to see if the current time is less then time + X mins if so we know that friend is online
