All you should see is an image and I gets all yer user data. ^_^

Next I need to make some pages that can take the database info and
construct various graphs and stats from it.

The only thing I'm a little fuzzy on is geographical location. My
current server stat tracking chit seems to be able to track by
location, but I'm not sure how it's doing that. I mean is it actually
checking the IP addy or is it just going by the language setting? And
if it is by the IP addy is there some kind of reference guide or
something that can determine location or would some kind of server
side WHOIS be needed to run on each IP to check? Or is it something
else entirely?
