Hi everyone and happy new year!
Could anyone recommend me a php script/program that can truck user naviational path throughout site, something like what hitbox or superstats provide. Something that could give me an idea how people navigate inside the site, give general patherns of navigation etc.

i know only one php program that does this and that is bitlogger (free script, at hotscript.com), but it records navigational paterns of an idividual user and does not provide group analyses, like 50% navigate like this 10 like that etc. of course i can try to modify it, but would like first to find out if someone already did the job. thank you all in advance.

My God bless Americas New Year. Amen!

No help so far, eh? :( I'll "bump" the post. Hopefully someone will offer an idea.

well, this is a little far-fetched, but there doesn't seem to be much other help offering itself.
I have taken a perl script by Randal Schwartz at [stonehenge.com] and without a lot of modifications generated some rather useful graphs (or images, or something) of the traffic flowing through my site. I suppose that it requires logging your stats in a database probably by using Apache::DBILogger, but I don't think that's too uncommon these days.
I'm not too sure how useful the information you glean from this kind of analysis, but this type of image is one of the best ways to display the data that I've found.
