I coded up a hit counter, then extended it to see who was reading my
blog, by matching IP. The problem is that I am swamped by crawlers.

How can I detect a human, or a crawler? If I can handle one, I can
negate it for the other.

Should I somehow user $_SERVER['USER_AGENT'] ? or something else?

Thanks in advance.
