Hello,
I am trying to create a mini replica of third party web tracking tools that place an image or bug on a site.
What they do is embed a code on any external site that calls their own server. Via javascript, the code makes an external image call to a script and pass variables to it which in turn calls the actual image and returns it to the screen to allow the page to fully load.
<img src="http://stats.domain.com/track.pl?a=10&pagename=bluewidget&referrer=google&browser=netscape>
they also set a permanent cookie and a session cookie.
has anyone seen any open source code that is similar to this. i'm not an advanced programmer and would like to see some similar code that can help me get started.
i would like to set this up on my own server for my site because there are some privacy issues in using a third party tracker.
thanks.
