* Track clicks on link

[Madge_T]

Hello guys!
I have a small and neat site with a couple of links.
I have searched the net and found several PHP scripts to track the
# of clicks on these links, but they all give an overview with grand totals
and I think it would be pretty neat to have an overview per day.

Does anyone of you use such a script? Would be great if it uses a simple
text file and gives a simple overview per day total # of clicks.

Thanks

Madge

Here is an explanation of how it can be done without writing the code for you:

Create a MySQL database with a table for all the links you want to track.
The attributes would include an id (primary key) and a destination URL.

Create an exit.php file which takes a parameter from the URL and sends the visitor to the corresponding URL found in the database table you created. I.e

domain.com/exit.php?id=1 to send visitors to the first URL stored in your DB.

In your exit.php file, have some code that updates a log table in your database. The log table should have a date and time field as well as a link ID.

Then a simple MySQL query will be able to display all visitors to a particular link by date.
