Thank you.

Is there a reason why you suggest ereg_replace for the ' and eregi_replace for the \?

Looks like some search engines are sending in those characters. And those are no nos for script.

I understand that, and I had this problem long ago, but what I do not understand is why use one function for the ' and the case-sensitive eregi_replace for the \.

And it is most probably not an issue with the search engine sending those characters, as much as the user typing a phrase and then hitting the \ before the Enter key, as they complete their typing. The \ is close to the Enter key.

I must say that this mod is AWESOME...and coming from a newbie to VB and PHP....I was able to install this without a hitch!!!

Paypal donation time for sure...

I have a question about the statistics folder in the forum install directory...was I suppose to upload the sides folder and these files?: statistic_browser_os.php; statistic_searchengines.php; and statistic_spider.php?

Oops one other question...what does the statitis_counter.php do (in forum root)? Is this like a page counter? If so, how do I get it to show?

Thanks again ...

copy this three files in in forum root:
e.g.
-forum/statistic.php
-forum/statistic_counter.php
-forum/statistic_java_counter.php

the other files must stay in the forum/statistic/ folder with the same file structure. (do not change)

The image directory of the distribution package should be uploaded to the ./statistic directoy (forum/statistic)

The statistic_counter.php is the most important file.
This file counts and logs all the statisic data.

Hey PcFreak, care to answer my question?

Is there a way to show the average posts per day on the main statistics page? You have the total posts, and the days since the forum was put online... so I can't imagine that it would be anything too difficult. Any way of implementing this? I know that it's a very easy calculation to figure out on my own with a calculator, but if I don't need a calculator, it's even better :)

Great hack btw :D

Upps... Sorry
The reason is: I don?t know a better solution.
Some people look for term like "hello\" or "'Freaks`s statistic is the best' " in the engines.

But the routine is not case-sensitive. It is implemented only if a search machine were actually found.

Hmm..
I think you can use this code: e.g
Put them into your forum.php under this line:
Then you can use this new var "$average_post_ per_day" in the statistic template. (not tested ;))

Thanks, I'll give that a shot and fool around with it if it doesn't work. I'm comfortable messing around with code that's already there... it's when I've gotta figure out the code on my own that give me trouble :)
