No problem bud, sorry I tried to help. Anyhow, this does work, you just do not know how to write image.php so that it returns the correct data for an image counter. maybe i misunderstood your first email, but I thought you were looking for a "hidden" way of keeping track of page hit counts and user paths, etc.
If your talking about files that can have PHP in them, then this is as simple as an include() file that generates the correct <img> calls to product the correct number, while tracking the other information you want. If you want to call this on a plain HTML page that can't parse PHP, then the only way I know of is to create an image call to a PHP script. Maybe you can do more with Javascript or SSI, if that's available... ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Smetak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 12:14 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] multisite hit counter, includin session statistics > <img src="http://www.yourserver.com/image.php?ID=xxx";> > > Well, how can this help me?
