A modification to Simon Steed's mod of Tyler Longren's Logger. It will now only track _NEW_ visitors to your site not every hit on every page as it did befor. You can also use it as a hit counter by grabbing the number of rows from the DB.

<?
// Hit and visitor counter
$connection = mysql_connect($hostName, $userName, $password) or die ("Unable to connect to MySQL server.");
$db = mysql_select_db($databaseName) or die ("Unable to select requested database");

$browser = $HTTP_USER_AGENT;
$date = date("F jS Y, h:iA");

// Check if the referer is your site if not then add record
if (preg_match ("/www.YOUR_DOMAIN.com/i", "$HTTP_REFERER")) {
mysql_close($connection);
} else {

// If you cant resolve domain use IP address
if ($REMOTE_HOST == "") {
$host = $REMOTE_ADDR;
} else {
$host = $REMOTE_HOST;
}

if( empty( $HTTP_REFERER ) or '' == $HTTP_REFERER ) {
$HTTP_REFERER = 'No Referer';
}

mysql_query ("INSERT INTO statinfo (browser, date, host, referer) VALUES ('$browser','$date','$host','$HTTP_REFERER' )");

mysql_close($connection);
}
