Hello,
I'm interested in setting up a system whereby I can track a users
movements through a site.
I particularly I am interested in recording both that the user actually
hit the page but also the time he spent on that page.
Is this possible using PHP and if so how?
Thx

So yes, it's possible with PHP. Is it worthwhile? Eh, maybe. But just
realize the overhead that you'll be putting on a busy site
with a DB entry
for EVERY page view - even for pages with no dynamic content
(not to mention
any pages that might require real DB querying).
Why not use

I'm sure an application like this has already been written, but here are
some considerations if you'd like to build your own:

Interesting Pierre,
Is this something you have ever used?
I have tested it for a few weeks ago (and starting to translate the
doc to fr ;). I use it in a current project. However be
sure this is really something good and

Thanks Mike,
You make some good points.
From a volume point of view I don't think making the writes to the DB
will have much effect as it's a low traffic site.
I guess I'm going to have to do some
