No need to re-invent the wheel, all accesses are already being logged.
If you are using Apache, take a look at the access log. Every hit to
the server is already logged there. I am not sure what the default
location for the file is, but you can find it with
locate access_log
or by looking for the string Log in your httpd.conf file. I believe
it may appear under either the AccessLog or CustomLog keywords.
You might want to look at Webalizer, or a couple of other programs to
analyze the contents.

There are others, but this is the one I use.
