Simultanious Login .htpasswd

[hdtrgerx]

Hello everyone my first time on here... i was just wanting to know i have a login system setup with .htpasswd and .htaccess everything works perfectly BUT i was wanting to limit the amount of multiple logins for example:

device1 device2 device3 device 4 all are logged in but if the user adss a 5th logged in device it either refuses the login attempt or it somehow lets me know of the 5th login??

any ideas
Thank you

This sounds like something that should be done using PHP alongside a MySQL/SQLite database or a text file (obviously restrict access to it using '.htaccess').

firstly PHP aint my thing?? i am a beginner. do you have any examples i could look at? or could you train me on how (i am a quick learner) ? i know python/java so i am guessing it would make things easier

Thank you
