//This gets 'away' or 'online':
//(Or something like it in your tables)
$query = "select status from whatever where username = '$username';
..
..
..
//Choose a table based on their logged in status:
if ($status == 'away'){
$table = 'away_table';
}
else{
$table = 'online_table';
}
//Now build a query with that table:
$query = "select stuff from $table where username = '$username'";
This is just ONE way of doing it.
Depending on your table structure, there could be other, better, faster
ways to do it.
We'd need to know more about the 'away' and 'online' table[s] and a bit
more info to really help you...
