/* this script lives. For our purposes, we */
/* have named it "url-log.txt". You may name */
/* it whatever you like, but if you change the */
/* name, be sure to change it in the variable */
/* below, where it's marked */
/* */
/* Also BE SURE TO CHMOD THE TEXT FILE TO 666 */
/* so that the sever can open the file and */
/* write to it. */
/* ENJOY! */

// make this point to your header file. rename the file
// and the path to point to the correct file on your server
// If you do not use a header or footer file, simply replace
// the header and footer includes with the proper HTML code
// for your site

include("/usr/home/your-site.com/html/inc/header.inc");

// Change the variable below to "no" if you do not wish to write
// the data to a text log

// Unless you are changing the verbage of the printed message,
// there are no further configurations that need to be done
// past this point, except editing the path to your footer includes

// If you do not use header and footer files, you can just replace
// the include calls with your HTML, but be sure to close the PHP tags
// before and after the HTML, so you don't get parse errors.

	Polkan Garcia wrote : 852 `the script doesn�t detect the current url, the $referer var is null. The solution in my case was: 1) Add in the line 83 and 84: $machine = "$SERVER_NAME"; $rute = "$REQUEST_URI"; 2) Modify the $referer value: $referer = ("http://www.$machine$rute"); And Fun !`
