One File PHP Web Stats

Ever wondered who's hitting your website and where they are in the world? Now you can find out with this simple / light weight PHP script. (OK, it's not strictly just one file, the log file and log viewer are created on first run!)

Requirments

FTP or SSH access to a web server with PHP support
~~A userstack.com API Key for accurate Browser / OS detection~~
Visitors to your website / page

Description / Use

The main script is copied over to any web server with PHP support. Drop it into a folder where you are storing your website or web files that you want to monitor. At the very bottom of any pages you want to monitor and before the closing body tag add the following code;

<?php include 'stats.php';?>

Make any required changes in the config section. Then wait for traffic to hit your website / page. The first time this happens the stats viewer namely viewstats.php will be created in the same directory as your web page files. The second time, the log file namely stats.log will be created and the collected visitor data will be added to the top of the file. Subsequent visits will append the log file from the top and when a maximum number of lines is reached the log file is trimmed to keep the size down.

So we end up with stats.php (see code below) stats.log (the log file) and viewstats.php (the nicely formatted log file viewer!)

At the bottom of the viewed statistics table are form buttons to either completely clear the log file or to refresh the page / logs. It's suggested that these are removed / commented out of either the viewer or in the html template section of the script if you do not want any uninvited visitors clearing your logs for you?
