visitorTracking

visitorTracking is a simple PHP class to gather visitor information, and store it in a database using MYSQLi. It's more modern and complete than others I have seen around on Google/HotScripts. (SQLi, oop(ish?), etc...) No bells or whistles, fully customizable.

Install

Upload the files to your server.
Edit the database configuration ( `src/_installation/db.php` )
Create the `visitors` table in your database. (`src/_installation/visitors.sql` )
Instance the class in your code.

Usage

//define database
define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' );           // set database host
define( 'DB_USER', 'root' );                // set database user
define( 'DB_PASS', '' );                    // set database password
define( 'DB_NAME', 'yourdatabasename' );    // set database name

//include the class
include( 'src/class.visitorTracking.php' );

//instance the class
$visitors = new visitorTracking();

The constructor method automatically calls the tracking method $visitors->track(); which inserts the collected data.

You print the array containing the current visit by echoing $visitors->displayThisVisit();

You can output a table containing all the paginated data from the database by echoing $visitors->displayVisitors();

Alternatively, you can just grab the table data from your database SELECT * FROM visitors ORDER BY date DESC and format it according to your specifications.
