How this cookie count the pageviews?

[sligh]

Hello,

I am not sure how to count visitors.
I know there is a way to count your site visitors? You can count the no of hits on your page but that wont give you the perfect idea of your website popularity. Please let me know how this cookie count the pageviews?
I want to know how to get the exact no. of unique visitors that I got on my website. This is the most important thing to know the no. of unique visitors & for this we have to know the Ip of the visitor on cookie based code.
If am right please guide me to do so.
Your suggestions are welcome.

Regards,
sligh

Page Views Counter Per Session/Cookies

TO view how many times a page was viewed you have a page counter. But if same visitor reloads page it adds counts therefore better solution is to count per session.
Here is TIP how to DO this
Use it in an event Before Show (PAGE)
And customize it to Your DB table ...

global $InfoDetiails;
    // Write your own code here.
	global $REMOTE_ADDR;
	$check_ip=$REMOTE_ADDR;
	if(CCGetParam("news_id","") !="" && CCGetSession("UserIP","") != $check_ip)
	{
	global $DBddd;
    // Write your own code here.
	$productSQL="UPDATE webshop_news SET news_viewed=news_viewed+1 WHERE news_id =".CCGetParam("news_id","");
    $DBddd->query($productSQL);
    $ip=$REMOTE_ADDR;
	CCSetSession("UserIP", $ip);
	}

It can be modified to use Cookies instead of Sessions ...
Just Replace as: CCGetCookie("UserIP","")
CCSetCookie("UserIP", $ip);
