 * Hi,
 * I’ve created a PHP-file to be able to log visitor-information into a database.
   Another file, the front-end, shows the statistics. For an example, please visit
   [this site](http://www.LommersOnline.com/stats) (front-end).
 * To collect the user-information, a couple of php-lines have to be executed for
   every page-visit. I’ve edited one of my template files and added the PHP-code.
 * But I think it’s nicer to deal with the code by using a plugin. So I want to 
   write a plugin by myself. The only thing the plugin has to do is the following:
 * – For every visit: run a couple of lines of PHP-code.
 * How to create such a plugin?

 * I’m not a coder, but basically you would create a new function, and then use 
   a hook to call the function where you wanted it to be executed.

 * SHould be a good starting point, and you can always check back with more specific
   questions, though the forums tend not to get too technical in regards to coding.
   There’s a hacker list for that.

 * Hope that gets you on your way.
 * Another suggestion would be to look at some other plugins and see how they are
   constructed.

 * Already found out which ‘Hook’ to use. It was the ‘shutdown’-hook. Please have
   a look at my Plugin: [http://www.lommersonline.com/archives/387](http://www.lommersonline.com/archives/387)
