Hits and Online Today Php Utility Script Example Tutorial
Display on your webpages total page views, unique visitors, mobile users and bots all in one!
Hi!. I have just added this websites 2 go total visitor analyzing flat file PhP Script. I use it on this site. I thought I would share it with you. For those who like to use flatfile based file manipulation like myself you will like this.
Ever since I had a site down for "To many database connections" I went total flatfile with all scripts. Since none of my websites will be as big as some as the mega sites out like Amazon etc. flatfile and directory read CMS work just fine works if done right. If your site gets that big you could afford a server, cloud and use sql but for the majority of us starting out with shared hosts or free hosts flatfile is the way to go. Why because it is portable and fast. You don’t have to set up a database for everthing. if I need to use SQL I just convert on a case by case basis.
Now I only get excess resource errors LOL!
Check out this script it works great and you can customize the time setting and add bots and crawlers or remove if you like. Set time for users online for minutes or hours. Scan bot useragents and display. You can even modify the crawler function to compare host to useragent to block those hackers that user a fraudulent google/bot useragent.
Hope you like it and use it and find it useful!
