Code:

setcookie($cookiename . 'hits', serialize($client_ip), 0, $board_config['cookie_path'], $board_config['cookie_domain'], $board_config['cookie_secure']);

Okay the code above stores an ip and blaa bla, and I wanted it so that it does not get deleted automatically...ever (like a remember me password cookie type).

But it seems that it get's deleted automatically if i close my browser and start it up again... Is there a way to make this not happne, and to make it perment (like a remember password cookie?)


Thank you,
Nazu

setcookie($cookiename . 'hits', serialize($client_ip), Time()+63072000, $board_config['cookie_path'], $board_config['cookie_domain'], $board_config['cookie_secure']);


The third field is the time the cookie expires. You left it to zero (0) in your code. Time() refers to the current time in seconds, adding the long digit there will set the expiry to two years ahead of the current time.

Hope that helps.

Well im trying to check for unique hits on my site [ http://gfx-pro.ath.cx ]

and im having a bit of a problem, any clues on how to make a good unique hit counter?

PHP Code:

//

// Here we are going to get the site's unique hits.

//



$client_ip  = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);   // Get's the clients ip address

$client_ip = encode_ip($client_ip);

$page = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; // get the page the user is at



if($page == '/') {         //

   $page = '/index.php';   // The page

}                          //





$sql = "SELECT * FROM " .UNIQUE_HITS_TABLE;

$result = mysql_query($sql);



while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) {

    $hits[] = $row;

}



if( !$total_hits = count($hits) ) {

    $is_unique = false;

}



$is_unique = true;



if($is_unique != false) {

    for($i = 0; $i < $total_hits; $i++)

    {   

       $rec_id = $hits[$i]['hits_id'];

       $rec_ip = $hits[$i]['hits_ip'];

       $rec_page = $hits[$i]['hits_page'];



    }



       if( !isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['unique_hits']) && $client_ip != decode_ip($rec_id) ) {



           setcookie('unique_hits', $userdata['session_id'], Time()+63072000, $cookiepath, $cookiedomain, $cookiesecure);



           $sql = "INSERT INTO " . UNIQUE_HITS_TABLE . " (hits_ip, hits_page)

                  VALUES ('" . str_replace("\'", "''", $client_ip) . "', '" . str_replace("\'", "''", $page) . "')";



            if( !$result = $db->sql_query($sql) )

            {

                $is_unique = false;

            }



            $is_unique = true;

            $set_unique = $total_hits;





       } else {

         $is_unique = false;

         

          $set_unique = $total_hits;

          if($set_unique == '') {

              $set_unique = 0;

          }



       }



} else {

    $set_unique = '0';

} 

is something that im using at the moment, it's not that good i think :S.
