如何在PHP和MYSQL上保留博客文章计数器？

Question

Is there a good way to keep track of page views for blog posts on a CMS on PHP?

For instance would I track sessions? Or Would I track Unique page views, etc. How would I check add that to each page without using google analytics if there is a robust library that is simple to use in either javascript, etc.

Answer 1

Take a look at $_SERVER at http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php

You can grab a clients IP address using $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] and use a cookie or session to make sure you only store the "visit" once per unique IP address.

Your counter would simply be a PHP query that did a count of all DISTINCT IP addresses found in your table.
