Another questoin after two answered questions. Okkk! This is the problem regarding cookies. where i am creating a mysql table and storing the information of each visit by the browsers. if browser has visited the site. it will treat that as old user. else it will insert the information of new user in database. But the problem is: " Every time it is creating a new row in table and treating each attempt as a new attempt." Can any one help me about this? I am sending the format of the database also. Try it............
create table track_visit (
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
PRIMARY KEY( id ),
first_visit INT,
last_visit INT,
num_visits INT,
total_duration INT,
total_clicks INT
);

if ( ! isset ( $visit_id ) ) {
$user_stats = newuser( $link );
}
else {
$user_stats = olduser( $link, $visit_id, $slength );
print "Welcome back $visit_id<P>";
}
function newuser( $link )

// setcookie( "visit_id", $visit_data[id], time()+(60*60));
$query = "INSERT INTO track_visit ( first_visit,

$query .= "WHERE id=$visit_id";
$result = mysql_query( $query );
return $visit_data;
