The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Help setting up some php code to track customer reciept....

Asked by intellect22 in PHP Scripting Language, JavaScript

Tags: php, sales, tracking

Hey guys, this has been killing me....here is my problem

I use google conversion tracker to track when I get a sale on my websites. The problem is that a lot of the time the sale is DOUBLE or TRIPLE counted becuase a person will go to the download page more than once, each time getting counted as a new sale (for instance they may purchase at work and download the product, then they go home and download on a different PC).

So what I am trying to do is create a small snippet of PHP code that will write the customers reciept to a text file when they land on the download page. Then everytime they go to the download page, the script will check the text file and see if that reciept already exists. If it does then it wont ECHO the javascript tracking code, but if the reciept does not exist it will ECHO the javascript code.

I have pasted my code below but I cannot get it to work, nothing happens and the text file on my server where the reciets should get written to is not getting written to. (it has RW permissions)

My download page is created using DLGuard and has a .PHP extension......

Hopefully someone can help or come up with a different way to only show the tracking code one time per visitor! thanks!

Below is the PHP code I was pasting in the download page....

<?php
$cstreciept = explode("\n", file_get_contents('cstreciept.txt')); //open cstreciept.txt and seperate values by new lines
 
echo "$cstreciept";
if (strstr($cstreciept, 'customer reciept goes here')) {
 
} else {
$file = fopen('cstreciept.txt',"w"); //open for writing
fwrite($file,'customer reciept goes here'); 
fwrite($file,"\n"); //create a new line
fclose($file);//close the file
echo "<script language='JavaScript' src='http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js'></script>";
echo "<noscript><img height='1' width='1' border='0' src='http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion/1060369152/?value=28.48&amp;label=gV4mC_5Aw&amp;script=0'/></noscript>";
