    I have a desktop app that uses a local client socket to post logon commands
    to a website using php scripts, at the moment i am using the logon details
    to write to a db every x amount of minutes to tell any searches that user x
    is online and if the app closes then it posts a logoff prior to closing,
    when someone does a search from their desktop app it posts the request to
    the php script and the results found are checked against if lastlogon <
    currenttime - threshold then user online else mark offline for those that
    shutdown without the chance to send the logoff etc..
    now obviously i have to have the users desktop app re-logging on at
    intervals to update the last logon time so..

    1) Is their a better way considering i am not using a browser etc...like
    session_start , session destroy etc...

    2)Also can sessions detect if a users internet connection breaks or if their
    pc crashes or reboots etc.
