Delete a record from database

[truth_seeker]

I am making a flash chat application.

I have a "logout" button in my flash which can delete a record from mysql database through php.

But what if the user decides to close the browser window without even logging out?

Is there a way I can delete the user record from database(as in Logout) when the user closes the window?

Hi,

common practice with chats, forums etc: as long as the user is active, activities can be recorded in the database with a time stamp. Now, if the browser is closed, the timestamp will no lobger be updated. After a few minutes, the visitor is considered to be offline / gone
