[JDEV] Presence indicator for web page

[Richard Dobson]

Well yes it is up on my website displaying my status, the database is a
mysql database, and only the website providing the presence image service
needs to have php, why did you think anyone else would need php?

The HTML i would put into any HTML page (or email) would be the following:

<IMG SRC="http://opi.dobson-i.net/online?id=richard@dobson-i.net&m=g">

It is used on my site which is at:
