get distinct list of mysql records filter by ip.date and page/query

i have a table of

-- Table structure for table `visitor_tracking`
--

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `visitor_tracking`;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `visitor_tracking` (
  `entry_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `visitor_id` int(11) default NULL,
  `ip_address` varchar(15) NOT NULL,
  `page_name` text,
  `query_string` text,
  `timestamp` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`entry_id`),
  KEY `visitor_id` (`visitor_id`,`timestamp`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=22 ;

Open in new window

with data like

INSERT INTO `visitor_tracking` (`entry_id`, `visitor_id`, `ip_address`, `page_name`, `query_string`, `timestamp`) VALUES
(32, 1, '98.28.197.00', '/single_event_page.php', 'id=5', '2014-01-10 19:18:18'),
(33, 1, '98.28.197.00', '/single_event_page.php', 'id=2', '2014-01-10 19:31:49');

Open in new window

sorry for only 2 entries

i need to get the page views for unique hits so i assume i need to group ips and filter by page_name and query_string as the page name is with the query string.

how do i do i return records for a certain date and for the month?
im not understanding how to use distinct and group correctly in my mysqli select string.

thank you for any code or help you may provide.

ive been playing with this code

<?php
include("db_connect.php");
//retrieve the appropriate visitor data
$view = $_GET["view"];
//set a default value for $view
if($view!="all" && $view!="record" && $view!="pages")
  $view = "all";
if($view == "all")
{
    //show all recent visitors
    $sql = "SELECT visitor_id, GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT ip_address) as ip_address_list,
        COUNT(DISTINCT ip_address) as ip_total, COUNT(visitor_id) as page_count,
        MIN(timestamp) as start_time, MAX(timestamp) as end_time FROM visitor_tracking GROUP BY visitor_id";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);
    if($result==false){
        $view = "error";
        $error = "Could not retrieve values";   
    }
} elseif($view == "pages")
{
    //show all recent visitors
    $sql = "SELECT visitor_id, page_name, query_string, GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT ip_address) as ip_address_list,
        COUNT(DISTINCT ip_address) as ip_total, COUNT(DISTINCT ip_address) as page_count,
        timestamp FROM visitor_tracking GROUP BY query_string";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);
    if($result==false){
        $view = "error";
        $error = "Could not retrieve values";   
    }
}else {
    //show pages for a specific visitor
    $visitor_id = $_GET['id'];
    //rung $visitor_id through filter_var to check it's not an invalid
    //value, or a hack attempt
    if(!filter_var($visitor_id, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, 0)){
        $error = "Invalid ID specified";   
        $view = "error";
    } else {
        $sql = "SELECT timestamp, page_name, query_string, ip_address FROM

hits are recorded by ip. so yes there are multiple entries

im looking for unique hits for each page as a table. and to filter by a certain day and month

i guess now all i need is the date filter

returned from

$sql="select page_name,query_string,count(*)
  from visitor_tracking
 group by page_name,query_string;";

Open in new window

that groups them in alpha order too..still need hits count how do i print count field

Sharath S

this condition selected records on Feb1st. change it as per your need.

WHERE DAYOFMONTH(`timestamp`) = 1 -- change it to wathever the day you want.
AND MONTH(`timestamp`) = 2

wow thats nifty for month and day ill have to look up year too

still how do i get count for hits please?

Sharath S

You have year function too.

AND YEAR(`timestamp`)=2014

Open in new window

If you want altogether, you can simply apply

`timestamp`='2014-02-01'

Open in new window

Coming to the count(*), Is it not printing the count at all? Are you getting blank under this column?

Johnny

ASKER

this works

 $sql="select page_name,query_string,count(DISTINCT ip_address) as page_count
  from visitor_tracking
 group by page_name,query_string;";

Open in new window

for unique hits

and just so others know i needed to limit the query strings too so heres that code

    $words = array( 'id=5','id=73' );
$whereClause = '';
foreach( $words as $word) {
   $whereClause .= ' query_string LIKE "%' . $word . '%" OR';
}

// Remove last 'OR'
$whereClause = substr($whereClause, 0, -2);

    /*
    $sql = "SELECT visitor_id, page_name, query_string, GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT ip_address) as ip_address_list,
        COUNT(DISTINCT ip_address) as ip_total, COUNT(DISTINCT ip_address) as page_count,
        timestamp FROM visitor_tracking WHERE" . $whereClause ." GROUP BY query_string";
   */
   
    //echo $sql; die;
