Visitor
=======

[](#visitor)

PHP library to save info about visitors of web page into DB. PHP 7.1 is required.

Authors:

- Petr Suchy (xsuchy09 - [www.wamos.cz](http://www.wamos.cz))

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

Visitor saves info about visitor of web page into db and uses cookie to identify same visitor. Lifetime of that cookie is configurable - default is 10 years. It is using [UtmCookie](https://github.com/xsuchy09/utm-cookie) to save UTMs too and [Hashids](https://github.com/ivanakimov/hashids.php) to get unique hash for every single visitor (for example in JavaScript it is not safe to use directly ID from DB).

SQL to create DB table is included (visitor.sql - for PostgreSQL). Column "visits\_count" is counted with trigger (new visit is counted if it is more than 24 hours from last visit). You can change it as you want.

Installation (via composer)
---------------------------

[](#installation-via-composer)

[Get composer](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) and add this in your requires section of the composer.json:

```
{
    "require": {
        "xsuchy09/visitor": "*"
    }
}

```

and then

```
composer install

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Basic Example

[](#basic-example)

```
$pdo = $PDO = new PDO(sprintf('pgsql:host=%s;port=%d;dbname=%s;user=%s;password=%s', 'localhost', 5432, 'db_name', 'username', 'password'));
$visitor = new Visitor($pdo, 'HashidsKey'); // it needs pdo instance in constructor and key for Hashids (use your own for your security). You can use others optionally params as you need.
$visitor->addVisit(); // set last visit of of visitor if he is identified or just create the new one with first visit
```

More examples can be found in the examples/ directory. Since version 1.0.4 you can set cookie params in constructor (path, domain, secure, httpOnly, sameSite) and some getters were added.
