actually first plans were to have the free version (which you're using now) and to have a pro version with all those extra features for like 5 or 10 bucks. Nothing much. I'm really leaning towards 5bucks actually... Now as for your comments (btw, thanks for responding)

*mysql-test.php*
I have some questions and comments for you though!
This file was not contained in the track0.zip I downloaded, however it wasn't necessary for the installation.
it was included in some preliminary (but never distributed) release. all it really did was connect to MySQL to see if your settings were right. Basically if install.php works, then so would mysql-test.php
guess i'd better go search where i didn't remove that... =o\
*phoenix0.com*
what is this?
i've got 3 sites, 2 with traffic. Only one is one where the 'professional image' doesn't matter so much, which is phoenix0.com . More or less my own playground, i suppose. Must've forgotten to edit that part out in the middle of updating versions (even if the previous ones weren't released). Nothing big though... I do suppose
http://www.YourURL.com would've been more obvious
the 0 on your instructions page looks a little like an o. Maybe I'm being too picky here!
yes it's the font... I like the font though, 0 and o are the only problems with it. I asked someone else and they said it was obvious enough... On the other hand, it probly wasn't a 'neutral' opinion since it was my buddy. But still, it's... visible at the least. Hope i'm not being rude, but after all, you figured out it was a 0...
I put the following on the page, as you said in your instructions
http://www.pstar.f2s.com/indexnew.html
(it's right at the bottom if you look at the source. This is just a test page by the way, it's not part of my site)
<?
include ("http://www.pstar.f2s.com/track0/track0.php");
?>
I set it to text display, but no number is displayed on my page - why is this? I don't believe the counter's meant to be invisible.
Going to this page also doesn't increase the count displayed in log.php (I'm aware of the time restriction feature). Just typing the url
http://www.pstar.f2s.com/track0/track0.php does increase the count however.
rename your file from indexnew.html to index.php
that's probably the biggest drawback i know of. You'll have to rename every page you use it on to .php (.php3 or .php4 would work too, but then you're starting with versions, blah blah... too messy for me).
Of course you could use SSI as well to include it if you prefer. I'm not sure but that would be something like <!#-- something -->
also, this would still require you to rename your files to .shtm or .shtml
On the other hand, PHP is a powerful language and i don't doubt it's all worth it. (Keeping in mind i
am becoming a PHP fan, if i'm not already...)
Also, a minor point is that the date displayed in log.php is not very easy to read: 20010627.
yea i know... YYYYMMDD isn't exactly the easiest way to read, sorry. I'm still more focusing on making it work and work better than on making it look pretty. Hope you don't mind too much...
All in all a good script IMHO, but please can you tell me if the stuff between the <? tags above is correct?
it's perfect. Just rename your file to .php and it should work just fine (or at least, i hope).
Another point about the PHP and SSI thing though... There's a few servers (very few i know of though) out there that WILL process SSI on .html and .htm extensions, although generally slower. I've yet to meet a server that'll process PHP in .html or .htm .
Also, i'm kinda stumped, but while responding got a new idea.
How about i use a table for this month's referral count. I could show the total and mail you the month's referrals once there's a new month.
I could do the same with browsers, resolution, OS once i figure out their variables.
i'd do the referral like so:
place.com - XX
place2.net - XX
place3.org - X
place6.ws - 1
place7.cc - 1
place8.be - 1
and the browser, res, and OS the same but then with percentages.
Also, if you want some working stats, just visit my playground:
http://www.phoenix0.com/track0/log.php
didn't bother to change the username&pass. Heck, they might as well be public...
Also, i'll add the invisibility somewhere along the line...
