Newbee question

[georgebaker]

I'm new to PHP.

I just want to ask if it's possible to make a php script that will sent me a email when someone visit a specific website(my own).

 

If you could point in the right direction on how to code it, it would be great. Maybe there's already some script out there that can do that.

 

Thank you in advance.

As in visiting a specific page...or if someone visits any page on a website? It might also help if you provide a little more information on what you're trying to accomplish. To be honest, getting an email every time someone visits a page seems inefficient.

 

If you're just interested in knowing how people visit the website, you could utilize something like Google Analytics:

Visit a specific page e.g. supportlab.dk/optimization

 

I want to see whenever someone is on the url above and want the script to sent me a mail that someone have been there. I want to see that e.g. on johnnylai.me/test (where the script are)

 

I use Google Analytics but i think it's overkill here.

Have you looked into the mail() function?

You could formulate a message on the page of interest.
