Straight php include for web traffic stats

[jbd]

Hi there,

I am developing an in house web traffic stats package for use accross our network. This works by including a php file in the header template for each of our sites t0 logs relevant info.

We have a few instalations of vbulletin and would like to have some accurate stats for those areas, however I am having problems finding where best to include the tracking script.

Currently we have a custon header file defined in a plugin and this is loaded into the default template. The custom header file contains the tracking include directive.

The problem here is that accurate stats are not recorded, so in one day we have 3k+ page loads but all from the same IP (i.e. our server) with no referer or user agent information etc.

Can anyone advise of the best place to include the tracking script in order to get accurate results?

We are using Version 3.6.7
