texte = How can I determine time with finer gradations than a second?I am trying to easily sequence visitors to a website. Something along the lines that I can [search ...VisitedTimesort=1...] to see who visited first and so on. I really need to *know* the order, it's not good enough to say these 3 visited within the same second. I figure if I can measure time with a fine enough gradation, I can cut down the collisions.I have a suspicion that [cart] would work fine as well. I would lose the time they visited, but that's ok, the order is what is important and I can save the time in another field. Are successive [cart] values always increasing (with [cart] treated as a number, as I know I should not do. :) )?I know I could do it with a small database that just increments a number for each page load. But I would like the solution to be as self contained as possible.Thanks -Sam------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
