\nThe next step was getting the info into the tables. It would be
\na perfect world if all pages were served through PHP and all of your
\nvarious web sites existed on one box. Unfortunately, I have an array
\nof servers scattered all over the country, and I want to collect this
\ninfo from every server for every page view 24 hours a day.<\/div>\n
\nSo that required me to use the 1×1 pixel GIF trick. I have a GIF
\non every page on every server that looks like this:<\/div>\n
\n
\n<IMG SRC=\"http:\/\/www.yourserver.com\/util\/gif11.php3?c=4&s=phpbuildercom&b=77\" \nheight=1 width=1>\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
\ngif11.php3<\/b> is a simple script that resides on my central server.
\nI have included the source on the next page.
\nSince the gif is on each page, and is forced to load due to the random
\nnumber at the end (the b=xxxx), a request is sent back to the central
\nserver for each and every page view.<\/div>\n
\nIf all of your pages and the database reside on one server, you don’t
\nneed to use the GIF trick – you can insert the logging code into the
\nheader of your page.<\/div>\n
\nHere’s a drawing demonstrating what’s going on here:<\/div>\n

\nThere are 4 components in that drawing:<\/div>\n
