Image download tracks page hits

[Anon]

I wish to provide my website memebrs with small pictures, which they can put on their websites. I wll assign a unique ID to each memeber. How can i track, how many page hits each memebr page had, using that image loads? I am using PHP and mySQL.

thanks.

You will have to give your members a link, not a picture. The put that link in the SRC part of their code so the link is called when a user loads their page.

The link you give should be to a script, not an image.
The link should also contain a member-id.
When the script is called you increase the count for that member-id, and then you send the image using fpassthru or something (search the forum)
