Hi all,

What i want to do is track the users who are visiting my website. Which pages they visited and where they exit etc.

The informatie, i think, shall be stored in a session. I've tried a lot of thins but i can't get ik working. Can some plz help me with a script or an tutorial?

You could ignore doing this in PHP and use one of the many excellent products out there. Specifically Urchin Stats comes to mind -- in that it does all you ask (by processing the log file from your web server). It just seems that there are so many other options out there, it's not necessarily the most useful way to spend your valuable time.

I hope you are aware that such tracking is only possible if the browsers deliver the HTTP_REFERER header, which is optional and can be switched off.
IP addresses from large proxy based networks, such as AOL also change during their sessions or the same IP can be in use by many different users at the same time.
Log analysis seems to be the better option than trying to capture this while the user is browsing.
