This tutorial talks about mapping website visitors in real time using Google Maps API. You can geographically locate the visitors to the website, and tag their locations on a map, using Google Maps, Ajax, MySQL and PHP.
Check out the Real Time Demo
here.
"A while ago I had an idea. What if I were to try to geographically locate all the visitors to my website, and tag their locations on a map? Using Google Maps, Ajax, MySQL and some PHP, it came together quite nicely."
Download the code:
The map: index.html. Displays the map, and contains the JavaScript functions.
Creating XML files: get_xml.php. Produces XML code with markers for the map.
Parsing the log: parse_log.php. Parses Apache's log, and puts it into a database. Then it geolocates the IP's found. This file should be run every minute, probably by a cron job.
Configuring: config.php. Contains database connection code.
