I started this a couple hours ago, and I'm pretty much done. Now, I'm looking for ways to improve it.

Here it is:



"But what does it do?" you ask.

In short, it analyzes what browser your viewers use and splits that into a nice graph for you to see. It logs visitors md5'd IPs to make sure you don't get multiple submissions from one person. It also logs their browser version, but that much is only stored via MySQL and not displayed on the graph. Soon, it will send all of the information that you've collected into a bigger database that collects the information from every site that has it. All of this is available for anyone to see.

So, how do you guys like it? How could I improve upon this?

EDIT:
Got the first release done. Download it here.

Here's a virus scan of it... which is kind of stupid, but I don't want to get in trouble: https://www.virustotal.com/file/2b0c...is/1334532015/

Updated:

• PDO implemented
• Code shortened to best of my abilities

Next release will include GUI updates.

It's not bad, the graph is displayed quite nicely only thing I would add is possible a background and then add a box around each browser. Also providing some information about the backend would be beneficial as we can help you improve and make it more efficient.

Store the IP instead of a MD5.

It is looking nice though

Are you using PDO for the MySQL?

In terms of design I like it. But why is the 1% and 3% the same size lol

The backend is simple. It uses a function I found to discover the user's browser and stores their md5'd IP, browser, and browser version into the 'stats' table.

To display the information, it does a query to select all information from every row where name = "browser name". The count is added to a total, where it is then divided into percentages. The rest you should be able to figure out.

Maybe I am not understanding what you said correctly though, because I don't see any other way to accomplish this, other than using a file to read/write from rather than MySQL.

I know I wouldn't like my IP to be stored by someone, so I just assumed that others felt the same way. I don't see any real reason to store the actual IP, either, since I am not using it for anything besides preventing duplicates.

Any reason you are suggesting this?

Nope, just plain old MySQL queries.

The div needs to be a certain width to be able to fit the percentage. It is more distinguished when the percentages are higher -- which they most likely will be. Poor Internet Explorer.

I would learn PDO and rewrite it, the MySQL drive is outdated and isn't very efficient.
