RE: [PHP-DB] Access counter From: Walter, Marcel (Marcel.Walter <email protected>)
Date: 07/24/01

Another idea of mine:
You could start sessions .... and register a variable...
and everytime a new user wants to request a page you can find
out whether its a new user or not if you check the variable ...

If it is new, then do the stuff below ... elso donīt ...

Cheers,
Marcel
