Hit Tracker Script

Hey all...

Here's a short little script I wrote to track visitors to our website.

http://www.cabarettheatre.org/hittracker.phpx

Just save the file and rename it to hittracker.php. Then all you have to do
is include it in your PHP files and edit the path to your log file and
you're all set!

Nothing special yet, I have see lot like this one, but can I suggest you
something, Instead of writing the date already formated, you should write
the timestamp time(). So if later I want to display the time using another
format, you still can do it. And you forgot to store the current page that
the visitor is visiting. Keep the good work.

For those whose hosts do not allow access to the apache log files.

Chris probably meant 'log visits to our website'.
I don't have access to the server access logs, but my own logging
is better than what the server logs anyway :)
