 From all the questions I've asked so far and the generous answers by 
Sebastian Bergmann here are some suggestions for FAQ and answers:


#1 Is there a way to get phpOpenTracker to set or not set the 
pot_visitor_id cookie on a per page basis?

No.

#2 Can #1 it be added to the feature request list?

No, as it cannot be properly implemented since the cookie in question is 
set upon the first request of a session.

#3 Can I call phpOpenTracker::log() more than once per document.

Currently no but I committed a patch to CVS that makes sure that 
phpOpenTracker::log() may only be called once per request. The 
previously available possibility to call it more than once suggested 
functionality that's simply not there, not intended and caused 
phpOpenTracker to bail out.

#4 What is the definition of a page count?

The number of times a document is requested. *But* if the page is 
"reloaded" (i.e. the HTTP_REFERER is the same as the page being 
requested) this is not counted as a page impression. You can change this 
by setting the log_reload configuration directive in your 
phpOpenTracker.ini.

In example 1 one page impression is counted, since the second request is 
a reload. In example 2 three page impressions are counted.

     Example 1:

       A -> A

     Example 2:

       A -> B -> A

#5 What is the log_reload configuration used for in the config file?

See #4
