Collecting Visitor Stats

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 13.2004

Hi all,

I want to collate more complex stats on the pages in my site that a user visits.

I want to know what page the user visits, and how long they spend there.

I can already record the page, and the time that page was called. I’m having difficulty with recording the time they leave.

Is there a function that can detect a page closing and if so, how do I keep the server side script “alive” until that page closes?

Note that I’m also considering the alternative approach, which is to send data from the client side using the onClose event in Javascript, but that would not be as efficient.

@WebfreakMar 14.2004 — Hi!

To detect what page user visit you can use this function: [code=php]<?php
$referer = getenv("HTTP_REFERER");
?>[/code] I will check out, if script can write close of window. To keep script alive you can maybe use this meta tag: [CODE]<meta name="doc-class" content="living document">[/CODE]

I will se what i can do ?
