Tracking users

[Anon]

Is it possible to put a link on my site, with a page behind it wich tells a user who is looking at the current site ?

What php vars do I need to generate such a page ?

You can see the environmental variables.

I can get them for 1 user, but I want to display them on one page, and for aal the users who ar watching (no login required) how do I do that ?

I think that you can use an externel file.

1. On the access page, store the enviromnental variable in this file, create One record for each user (add the date and time), verify if this user is not already registered in this file ! (you can also add the URL of your page).

2 On each page, create an update to store in the record of the user, and update time, date and URL.

3 On the page where you want to show the users connected, browse the file and display the informations. You can also add a refresh for users not connected anymore (30 minutes, and supprress them). You can also add the refresh section of your file in 1. and 2. so thaht user not connected anymore will be suppressed...

Ather possibility :

If your server is an APACHE, you can use the access_file of the server, and read the data to diplay them...

Have lot of Fun !

If you have an Apache server, and MySQL running on it, you and configure your Apache to store the data of the access_file into a MySQL Database.

At this time you only have to track your data an display them.

Remind that you have to understant the log of this file to see who is connected...

Normaly, entry greater than 30 minutes are not connected anymore...
