function isPlayerOnline(kid)
  if type(kid) == 'string' then
    return isPlayer(getCreatureByName(kid))
  elseif type(kid) == 'number' then
    return isPlayer(kid)
  else

Same function... isPlayer = isPlayerOnline

if isPlayerOnline(cid) ? == error
if isPlayerOnline(""..getCreatureName(cid).."") == error

@Shawak
nope...
i used function 'type'
it return an string saying type of var, strig, number, table, boolean, nil, userdata...
so it check if is a number or string, if it is a number it check direct by player id, but if it is an string iot check how as name xP

<sorry to rewrite>
some peoples like it :S

But has one different kind to make it...
for k,v in pairs(getOnlinePlayers()) do
...

I know what you mean, but i think "getCreatureByName(kid)" won't work is the player is offline, and you get a console error, or not?

I don't know what "getCreatureByName(kid)" return, .

Nice but isPlayer(cid) does the exact same thing with less resources doesnt it?

if isPlayer(cid) == TRUE then
 doSendPlayerTextMessage(cid, 10, "Player: " ..getCreatureName(cid).. " is online.")
end
