Don't do that. :-)

Instead of crawling through everybody's session data all the time,
just have each page hit "register" the user's current page and
timestamp in their DB profile.

Then a simple SQL query against the DB tells you who is looking at what.

The session data could easily get much much much to big to load/decode
easily/quickly.

A single update query on a pageview should not kill you.
