Hello i need advice in best practice to track link clicksi think i have to use a db in mysql to track but i think this could be a request (update)on the db every time when a user clicks on a link, i’m really new to php and mysql so i think this could overload the bd or maybe no?

so please if someone can help with some tips about it

Thanks
Ace

As far as I know, updating or adding to the db every time a user clicks a link would probably work the best. I haven’t figured out any other system.

You can use a simple txt file as an audit rail but u need to make sure that your server has enough disk space..
