Topic awaiting preservation: Referer & statics and counter (Page 1 of 1)

Hello! I've seen some scripts to see where the visits to your site come from, and counter ans a lot of statics, but I have no Idea on how to make somethig like this, in PHP would be better.

And if you know someone ready to work, would be perfect, so I can check code and all that.....

You can get such script from here: http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Counters/

BTW The best statistics are those generated directly from server log files with a little help from log analyzing software like ModLogAn, AWStats, WebAzlier, etc...

Oh! i though counters where just that: to count visits.....

Counters do count visits. But stay away from remotely hosted counters. They're slow and unreliable. As Mr. Max mentioned, use something like Webalizer to display stats about everything. It's quite nice.

if you are satisfied with a simple text-file based counter:

<?php
$counter_file = "counter.txt";
$counter_file_line = file($counter_file);
$count;

$counter_file_line[0]++;

$count = fopen($counter_file, "w");

fputs($count, "$counter_file_line[0]");

fclose($count);

echo $counter_file_line[0];
?>

i would have a similar script for referrers if you want to.

btw, wakkos, wanna translate something? http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum11/HTML/000432.html

Translation done!
=)

I actually don't want neither a counter or a remotly hosted stats.

I would like to have just the referers for now. a page where you can read the referers page, and I can add the counter from the Grumble's script written above.

maybe this helps you:

i think i have this originally from sash.

Cool!! thank you GRUMBLE, I was using this: http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/13331.html
But I'm testing that one right now!
