Rev. 1.01 - 10 July 1996Book 'em Dan-O
is nothing out of the ordinary, nothing
extraordinary, but the data you can log is
invaluable in tracking where people are coming
from, what your heaviest usage hours are and
*most importantly* what browser their using - all
the better to develop your site with!
This script can be run as a Server Side
Include, completely transparent, or it can be
used as a "Continue" button, logging
and re-directing the user at the same time. In
tracking where folks are coming from, it's most
effectively used as a SSI from your home page.
When used as a re-direct, you'll find that the
"where" is always the page the button
was on. Hey, whacha gonna do.. that's just the
way life goes.
Another option this script features is the
ability to exclude yourself, given you have a
machine name or static IP.
If you're having problems getting the logging
function to operate correctly under Unix, create
an empty logfile, upload it and issue the command
chmod 660 <filename> After changing the
permission then issue the command chown nobody:
<your user name> <filename> This will
properly set the file to be written to by the
system.
Please feel free to use and post this script,
all I ask is that proper credit be retained and
noted in your script. (ie. Please keep it as a
.zip file with this document intact)
This script has run under Unix and NT without
so much as a hiccup. Surprised me too! :-) Enjoy!
