Site visitors

[Graham Bennet]

Hello All,
Is there a way to record who visits your web site.

Thanks Graham

What version of FP? FP3 & FP2K2 will record the IP address of the visitor,
etc.

If you have "The Book" FP3 Inside/Out by Jim Buyens there is a great little
utility included that will parse the meta logs down. Very nice.

BTW, I can't say enough about Jim's book. I have both FP3 Inside/Out and FP3
Special Edition and if you only have monies to purchase one FP3 I/O is the
best.

P.S. The site http://www.bookpool.com is the best source to purchase
technical books. I've been purchasing from them for about 4 years now and
have yet to see their overall pricing, books and shipping, beat.

Since when is there a way to record 'who' visits a website?

The only way to record who visits a website is to ask and if
they do not provide legitimate information the best we can get
from scripts is number of page visits, IP addresses and the like.

Many circumstances cause much of that type of data to be
completely unreliable. Still, some data is better than no data.

clintonG,

Please go back and read my response. I said, "FP3 & FP2K2 will record the IP
address of the visitor,etc."

Yes, I know. My response was simply a clarification that identifying
an IP address is not reliable no matter which application or script
was used to capture the data and does not identify 'who' is visiting
the website nor can the IP be used to identify 'who' is visiting the
website which I continue to believe was the intent of the question.

I'm reading between the lines again though
