README

Rangefinder's server-side tracking allows you to record basic visitor information for every visitor, even those who block Rangefinder's client-side JavaScript. The client-side analytics fills in extra details, such as screen dimensions and page title, when/if it runs.

Installation

This library is designed to run on PHP 5.3 or newer. However, it should work with older versions with one minor change.

With Composer

Simply require dirk/rangefinder-sst in your composer.json.

Basic installation

Download the latest version of the tracking library (it's just a single file) and upload it to your server. Then you can just require it in your code:

require_once 'path/to/Track1.php';

Usage

The server-side tracking runs in two parts. First is sends off a tiny UDP packet to Rangefinder with the basic visit information, then it provides the <script> tag with the ID of that packet.

// Early in your code
Rangefinder\Track1::$clientKey  = SERVER-SIDE TRACKING KEY;
Rangefinder\Track1::$clientSite = SITE ID;
Rangefinder\Track1::track();
// Right before the </body>
Rangefinder\Track1::code()
