how to track user clicks on website

[thirsty2k]

I am working on a project which has lots of images and link. my boss wants a log of everyrhing what the user clicks on.. or atleast the image link they clicked on. we deal with images and she wants to see which images has more popular hits. the gallerry has more than 20 category and each category has more then 100 images.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

On the page that displays the image, use MySQL to store the user that clicked on it

i have several users and 1000 of images. the images are displayed on the webpage using javascript.. which is being loaded dynamically from the folder.

 

what is the method to detect the clicks tho. in php

Little example for you.....

 

<?php session_start();

$user_id="redarrow";

$img=array("img1.png","img2.png","img3.png","img1.png","img4.png");

$img=array_unique($img);

echo "<table style=' text-align: center; margin: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%' border='4'><tr>";

foreach($img as $images){

$_SESSION['images']=$images;

echo"<td><a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?user_name=$user_id&image_name={$_SESSION['images']}'><img src='{$_SESSION['images']}'><br>{$_SESSION['images']}</img></a></td>";
}

echo"</tr><table>";


if(isset($_GET['user_name']) && isset($_GET['image_name'])){

$id=$_GET['user_name'];

$image=$_GET['image_name'];

// Can update the database here bro.

echo "YOUR USER ID IS: $id\n\t YOUR CURRENT IMAGE SELECTED IS: $image";

session_destroy();

exit;
}

?>
