php - Keeping track of user's views on pages -

-

this question has answer here:

i've built simple forum made of categories, topics, , posts. keep track of how many unique views each post has received. not suspect daily traffic each post posts designated specific users. if had estimate, 500 1000 views (as maximum) per day each post; realistically 200 - 300 views.

what thinking of doing:

all posts loaded through php script named topic.php. @ beginning of script include code first checks if cookie exists, , if not check database user's ip , post @ hand. if database found user's ip , post-id, create cookie let script know on next page load no bother database query.

question:

  • is storing user's ip , post-id (perhaps along timestamp) proper way keep track of unique post views?
  • is method i've described above considered "best practice" or efficient standards?

thanks, evan

i'm no expert means can't answer whether efficient way, using user's ip address may not great way users have dynamic ip address, ip change frequently. if you're counting on ip being same every time, won't able use method.

will users registering use forum? if so, simple session cookie when login should enough uniqueness.

i'm attempting write python 2/3 compatible routine fetch csv file, decode latin_1 unicode , feed csv.dictreader in robust, scalable manner. for python 2/3 support, i'm using python-future including imporing open builtins , , importing unicode_literals consistent behaviour i'm hoping handle exceptionally large files spilling disk, using tempfile.spooledtemporaryfile i'm using io.textiowrapper handle decoding latin_1 encoding before feeding dictreader this works fine under python 3. the problem textiowrapper expects wrap stream conforms bufferediobase . unfortunately under python 2, although have imported python 3-style open , vanilla python 2 tempfile.spooledtemporaryfile still of course returns python 2 cstringio.stringo , instead of python 3 io.bytesio required textiowrapper . i can think of these possible approaches: wrap python 2 cstringio.stringo python 3-style io.bytesio . i'm not sure how approach - need write such wrapper or 1 ex
