Love this class! Great work.

I setup a small cdn system to make a set of small gif images available to a large forum to use and wanted some way to present a basic url to the image, and still have all the analytic information about page impressions and where the images were being refereed from.

So through a combination of mod_rewrite rules, some php scripting and your class I can get full analytic information on an image like this:

Hi Andy,

I tried to use it to track a download page with the following code:

——————————-
function download_file() {

global $file;

$GA = new Galvanize(UA-XXXXXX-Y);
$GA-trackPageView(index.php, Download);

header(Content-Description: File Transfer);
header(Content-Type: application/octet-stream);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=xyz.exe);
header(Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary);
header(Expires: 0);
header(Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0);
header(Pragma: public);
header(Content-Length: . filesize($file));
readfile($file);

}
——————————————————–

and Im getting this error:

——————————————————-
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter $ found in /home/curricle/public_html/descarga/Galvanize.php on line 316

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/curricle/public_html/descarga/Galvanize.php:316) in /home/curricle/public_html/descarga/index.php on line 63

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Fernando

@mann – You would need to have PHP available on the server, but not necessarily have .php files already. I’m going to be working on simpler ways to add this but if all your content is HTML / CSS you should be fine with a normal Google Analytics installation. Let me know what it was you were trying to track and I’ll see if I can help.

@John – Thanks for the comment. I’ve identified a couple of bugs that need ironing out. I’ll have them sorted very shortly and some additional features to boot.

@Greg – It’s looking like I’ve finally got some free time this weekend so expect something very shortly.

apologies for sounding like a newbie but can this be use for a plain html/css website (i.e. not php) like ours http://www.lotus-architects.com

Very nice work! This is a most useful initiative.
There seams to be a little bug in the latest version though.

I hope you will be able to release the final version soon..

Regards,

John
