[why-not]

Hi

Just create a directory out of the server web root to store the log then just log ip's into that, then every hour run a cron to add them to the database if you want to do that or if you just want to log it into the database create a table and do it that way....

example....

log into the database!

create a table...

CREATE TABLE visitors (
  ip char(15) NOT NULL default '000.000.000.000',
  visits smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
  last int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
  content int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
  UNIQUE KEY visitors_ip (ip),
  KEY visitors_ip (ip)
);

Go to your install directory!

Open global.php

FIND THIS LINE...

require_once('./includes/functions.php');

RIGHT BELOW IT ADD.

include_once ( './includes/functions_visitors.php' );

close that file...

Go to ./includes/

Open functions.php

FIND THIS LINE...

$output = process_replacement_vars($vartext, $sendheader);

RIGHT BELOW IT ADD

log_write ( strlen ( $output ) );

close functions.php


In that same directory './includes/'

create a file called...

functions_visitors.php

In that file paste the following code!

<?php

function get_ip ()
{
	$ip = !empty ( $_SERVER['CLIENT_IP'] ) ? $_SERVER['CLIENT_IP'] : '';

	$ip = !empty ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] ) && empty ( $ip ) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] : $ip;

	$ip = !empty ( $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] ) && empty ( $ip ) ? $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] : $ip;

	return $ip;
}

function log_write ( $sent )
{
	global $DB_site;

	$user = addslashes ( get_ip () );
	$sent = intval ( $sent );
	$time = time ();
	
	$DB_site->query ( "INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "visitors VALUES ( '" . $user . "', 1, " . $time . ", " . $sent . " ) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE last = " . $time . ", visits = visits + 1, content = content + " . $sent );
}

?>

That it...

It will log UNIQUE VISITORS, total pages viewed, total bandwidth used and their last visit time!

Note if your using a table PREFIX be sure to add the PREFIX to the CREATE table and the keys before creating the table! If you want to know how to add a simple viewer in the Admin Panel to view the log, just ask and I will show you how simple it is! It will have to be tomorrow evening as I have no time now, busy reading at the moment!!!
