[PHP] multisite hit counter, includin session statistics
Hi! I want to write some multisite hit counter, but including session statistics. Anyone knows how to do that? I mean: I need to place some link on the page, on not allways php enabled site - probably in form of blank image, which will run script on my server. Ex.: http://my_serv.org?site=0011";>. This way I can produce statistics including: - page access number - IP adresses of users ... but can't(don't know how): - number of unique users - average time users stays on site etc. Any hint?

I need the same thing u are asking to, but this way it doesn't work. But there are counters-sites that uses this method(img) producing session statistics. Anyone know how they do that?

Re: [PHP] multisite hit counter, includin session statistics
Completely misunderstood :o) One more try: I need to put into some page(www.some.com), which is not on my server, a link to my script-counter, running on my server(www.my.com). The easiest way to do that is to place it to the page in form of an blank image, so in the index.html on www.some.com will be code like . http://www.my.com/counter.php?site=0011";> . When user accesses www.some.com page, he gets my "image" and runs a script. This way I can count number of page visits, store IP numbers of visitorsbut don't know how to store number of unique users that access page, number of sessions. ^^ This is what I need. You know how to do that?

Re: [PHP] multisite hit counter, includin session statistics
Well, I'm feeling like an idiot. I was counting cookies must be sent before any other headers are sentman, how is possible it is working? I know how to program that, but haven't known cookies/sessions works also when initialised this way... Thanks a lot and sorry. Minca > What have you tried so far?

Re: [PHP] how to get names of files...

well, i think you don't want to have variable like $twentyfifth,
$hundredandthirtyfirst etc...
don't you rather use some array?
but try to use ${'variablename'}=$val
ex.:
for($i=0;$i<100;$i++)
{ $name='name'.$i;
${$name}=$i; }
You should get variables
$name0$name99 with values 0..99.
But I'm writing w/o testing
