Monitoring Dalager

I hacked together / mutated a php referer script.
Yes I know it should be “PHP Referrer”, but someone fucked up a looong time ago while doing the HTTP specs.

You just modify the script and dump this snippet in your MT-template or elsewhere:

<?php
  require("/path/yourhomedir/weblog/MT-referers.php");
  getReferers();
?>

You must make your index file a .php file to execute the script.
And, depending on the server setup, you migth experience errors when php tries to parse <?XML. It happens because the php.ini file has allowed short open tags for php (<?...?>instead of <?php ... ?>). To override this setting you place an .htaccess file in the mt-referers.php directory with this line of code:

php_value short_open_tag 0

If you are running safe_mode, you will not be able to use this script as it uses the tail command line tool. Sorry about that ;-)

It is a modification of PHP Referer 0.1

Note that this script doesn’t require Movable Type. That’s just how I use it. All you need is a php site running on unix/linux.



update 17/11-2003: The script now takes a filter-file with domains to ignore. See my filter file for inspiration.
update 22/11-2003: Use firebird to maintain the filter-file
