But it gets folks thinking.

Most application development languages have a way to convert these numbers back to IPs quickly. As well, this conversion can occur natively in MySQL SLECET statements.You could add a column to the database table that added the raw IP address with very little change to the method described in this article.

Can sessions in PHP only hold clickstreams , i.e Forward/back – and page references? Or can they hold more?For example , a button or something – to particularly evaluate usability I need to look deeper at web statistics and see page usage and what is being used on the page itself – along with a normal web-logging tool.
