Comments on: Who Sees Ads 1.3.2 http://planetozh.com/blog/2007/10/who-sees-ads-132/?source=rss A bit of my personal life, mainly focused on my kids. A bit of code, mainly focused on Wordpress and PHP. Overall, bits of nothing in particular.

I have no idea what it could be, but there seem to be something weird with your server itself. On all my machines things work fine. FYI the cookies are perfectly stored & incremented for me on your main page, but they don't get updated on your test page. This makes totally no sense to me...

One has the empty cookie as above (and we checked both if the cookie wasn't being blocked). The other has a correct cookie set: [code] Cookie check: Number of visits: 134 Last time was: 19 October 2007, 12:12 WSA check: function wp_ozh_wsa_regularvisitor() returns: bool(true) [/code] I'm completely lost here. From looking at my AdSense page views for the last couple of days it looks like the cookie isn't working for most of the blog users :-( It's almost the only function I need to have :) Thanks again, appreciate your time and efforts. If you need a better bug report, please let me know! Hi Ozh,

For myself (Firefox, guest user) I have this:

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. Cookie check:
  2. Number of visits:
  3. Last time was: 1 January 1970, 01:00
  4.  
  5. WSA check:
  6. function wp_ozh_wsa_regularvisitor() returns: bool(false)

I routed two other friends to my test page and each of them got different results. One has the empty cookie as above (and we checked both if the cookie wasn't being blocked). The other has a correct cookie set:

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. Cookie check:
  2. Number of visits: 134
  3. Last time was: 19 October 2007, 12:12
  4.  
  5. WSA check:
  6. function wp_ozh_wsa_regularvisitor() returns: bool(true)

I'm completely lost here. From looking at my AdSense page views for the last couple of days it looks like the cookie isn't working for most of the blog users :-( It's almost the only function I need to have :)

Thanks again, appreciate your time and efforts. If you need a better bug report, please let me know!

The cookie values for last visit and page views are fetched and increment by function wp_ozh_wsa_setcookie(), which is called on hook 'plugins_loaded' Variable $diff = $time - $last, where $time is time() as defined a line above, and $last is cookie for last visit's time as defined from cookie 4 lines above. Check by yourself: place <a href="http://phpfi.com/269916" rel="nofollow">this file</a> on your blog root and see what it says. If it doesn't work as expected, it must be once again a caching problem. Jean-Paul » I think this function *does* work.

I asked some of my blog visitors and they keep seeing the rule for non-regular visitors. We discussed this in the advanced rules blogpost before. I took a look at the code and noticed you used the variable $last for the $diff calculation, but the variable itself is never defined. Isn't that supposed to be $lasttime? Could you please have a look at that piece of code (for regular visitors) again just to set my mind at ease? :) Thanks for the update. Too bad about the WP-Cache support, but it never worked for me anyway :-( Alas I'm completely dependent on the caching due to the visitor numbers. I hope it's not the last update :-(
