Hi, I am counting at a page evertime someone gets in but it also counts everytime a speeder gets in, is it posible to detect it? so it doesn't count it. I checked that when you install this it identificate the speeder at the forum: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=19243.0
Does anybody know how I can do it?
Thanks in advanced

I think he meant "spider" rather than "speeder".

Use $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], then.

How can I use it? I am counting the hits with a $count++
How can I say if it's a spider don't count it?

It's not that simple. There are many different spiders, and each has its own user agent.
