I want to use your script for user tracking on my website. It so far seems like a good solution, but i need some info.
Do you register visits/ip's on a per "visit" basis or per "request" basis, IE if the user hits refresh 1000 times will it show that the user has 1000 visits or 1?
Any info would help.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It would show up as 1000 visits. My reasoning behind this is that if they refresh 1000 times, they're using 1000x the bandwidth (theoretically).
Hope that helps.

Your welcome. Your post also gives me an interesting idea however. The ability to track exactly which pages a visitor views at what time and which page he goes to next. It'd be easy to accomplish with sessions, perhaps something to consider in the feature though.
The output might look something like this:
Visit ID: 24
IP Address: 192.168.1.104
Pages Viewed:
-index.php (1427849028)
-/forums/index.php (142784078)
-/forums/view.php?f=2 (142784143)
-news.php?id=5 (142784236)

Thanks for the info.
While i understand your need for bw monitoring, I will be using this distro for mostly for user tracking.
I will be working on removing PHPSSID and other ID tags from the URI adding custom post/get vars from the URI string.
I will also try to add the ability to ignore internal users or specific IP addresses and Browsers(Google & Yahoo).
