Help PLease someone

How does one create a simple "cookie" that will help me know WHO it is
that visits my site.

My log files give me an IP address
I would like something more personal like a name or e-mail address.
I am wanting to know who is visiting my site so that I can see which hits
are people and which are search engines registering / checking my site ???

Please

Thanks
Barry

cookies can only provide information YOU store in them.

Okay But How then do you add / create a cookie that is attached to a .html
What I am basically wanting is a file to be generated on my server that will
list certain environment variables each time a page is accessed.

Thus have a index.visit file that a line is added to each time index.html is
accessed
The line added has HTTP_USER_AGENT REMOTE_ADDR etc.. results ???

You don't need a cookie for that.. you need a logging script that records
environment information. probably a perl script called through an image
tag, or a SSI include.

Ask them for the info and then store what they enter in a cookie.
Don't expect many to answer and those that do answer the majority will
likely be fake.

Sorry but you are not able to get personal stuff like a name or e-mail
address. all you can get is:

-Sreen size (e.g 800x600, 1024x768)
-Color depth (e.g 16bit, 32 bit)
-Host (e.g Btinternet, AOL)
-Time/Date
-Domain (e.g United Kingdom (.UK) CANADA (.CA) AUSTRALIA (.AU))
-Browser (e.g MSIE 5.x, Netscape comp. )

I use www.thecounter.com it does all this and more.
Hope it helps!!
