Tracking Of Visiter Visited Pages

[phpprogrammer]

Dear All,

I have a small problem

how can I track the visitor (from where he is coming)

i think i have to use $HTTP_REFERER

how can I track the pages that he viewed in my site, ie if a person visited my site I have to store the names of the pages that he has visited

regards

if you have a database use a table in that, if not use a text file. Then write a script to include in every page. In this included script you'll want to do the following.

1) Check if http referer is somewhere on your site. If it is not then log their IP, date, time and where they came from.

2) log theit IP, date, time and the current page.

You will have to decide what to do with empty http_referers cause that's a pretty common occurance.

With this information you will be able to reconstruct vistors paths through your site including the length of time on pages, except the last page they visited.

Hello, i'm doing the same at our company site:

on all the pages which i want to log i have a transparent image of 1x1 pixel.

The image is a php script that outputs the header information of the transparent gif.

The script in the image stores the date, time, ip and http_referer in a plain txt logfile.
The nice thing is that the http_referer is the page that loads the image/script.

Sort the log file at date, time, ip and you now know which user visited which pages in what order.
