I'm after a *simple* script to log each visitor to a website. All
I actually need is the visitor's reported IP address whether
genuine, proxied or hidden. Their reported browser type would be
an advantage, regardless of what browser is actually used.
Anyone know of anything simple and preferably free that will do
this? The site is hosted on a FreeBSD server with access to
CGI-Bin but it does not seem to have a server-side stats log.
I am aware of the value (or not) of any information gathered by
such means, however I still require it. Just something to log the
information presented by each visit please.
Many thanks and regards,
Mike.

Well, if you weren't such a dumbass, you'd have clicked on the link that
Brucie so kindly supplied to you and you'd have gotten the answer to that
question.
Here's a hint - if you're asking people for help, don't treat them like an
asshole and expect to get kindness in return. Remember, it is *you* who've
come here for help, not the other way around.

That is excellent and it worked!!! Thank you, thank you, thank
you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank
you, thank you, thank you, thank you.. etc.
It would be better if it worked in a html page mind. As I
understand it, google prefers .html pages for indexing, so this
can't be used in the home page.
But thank you, it is certainly good enough. :-)

Mike.

No.. The actuall IP is not important, just as long as I get stats
that show an IP for each visit.
Is is *impossible* to guarantee the ID of visitors to a website.
Imagine if everyone visited via aol.com, guardster.com,
anonymiser.com or any one of the more dubious offerings from
places like stayinvisible.com.. Such stats would be useless if
relied upon for actual identification.
However, many people do not know of such facilities, or even why
they might use them, and so some stats will give an indication of
where *some* traffic originates.
This is all I am after:
1.) How much traffic.
2.) Where does it claim to originate
3.) What is the claimed browser (not essential).
All I need is the numbers, I have said this repeatedly.
Ah well, as long as you're happy.
It's a start.

Whether this is a person or a bot, whether that person is using a proxy,
or whatever, is another matter. But, yes, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] will
give you the IP address of the requesting client.

Indeed.. I have tested it via several different clients and it
works very well.

There's no real need for a php page to end in .php although that
depends on the friendliness of your system admin and/or the ability
for you to use some kind of local configuration like .htaccess.
Having said that, are you sure "google prefers .html". It would seem
odd for a search engine to differentiate based on delivery method.

That's what it is, urban legend.
Google will happily take about almost anything unless you have gazillion
variables in dynamic page ulrs. More there are variables, more likely google
(or other searchbots) will spider slower or go only so deep to pages (to not
get in endless loop situations).
