WIX only supports HTML, not PHP.

Oh thanks you. I always wondered where I found that PHP script that I used in my project since all that time. But I have modified it a bit to store all the visitors in a log file instead of sending an email each time someone visited my profile. Easier then to work with some regex filtering on that logfile and update my database if needed.

Impressive. How well does it work? Have you hit any issues? Anything that still needs smoothing out?

The original script is working fine if you don't mind to get spammed by emails every time someone visited your profile.

Anyway here is my version of this script for those who wish another way than getting emails.
Obviously you need to change the path where this script will save the logfile.
Also I formated a bit the output so it will also include the date when you got a visitor.
The HTML part is the same as the OP. Nothing changed there.
You may need to create an empty logfile if the script doesn't work straight out of the box the first time.

Code

<?php
$ip = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
$avi = $_GET['AviName'];
$datenow = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$file = '/path/to/the/logfile';
$message = "[".$datenow."] -- ".$avi." visited your homepage with IP: ".$ip."\n";
file_put_contents($file, $message, FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);
?>
