I need to log information about users on my site, such as their IP, OS, location etc. and the links that they click within the site. Usually I'd store all this info in a MySQL databse but I'm using a free web hosting site which doesn't have MySQL database access. I'm wondering what the next best way to do this would be. Would an XML document be the way to go?

000webhost.com

Free hosting with 5(I think) MySQL databases

And what's wrong with google analytics? they show in-depth info of what you want... you can just see a chart how they navigate your site...

<?php

$ip = 12356;
$sistema = linux;

$manipulador_arq = fopen("information.xml","w+"); 


@fwrite($manipulador_arq,"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?>\n<information>\n<settings
    />\n
    <List>\n");



$xml = "<\n ip = \"$ip\"\n sistema = \"$sistema\"\n/>\n";


@fwrite($manipulador_arq,$xml);


@fwrite($manipulador_arq,"</List>\n</information>");
@fclose($manipulador_arq);


?>

Well, for example in The Netherlands you would have to ask a user to put non essential cookies on their computers (so php_sessionid is allowed but a analytics cookie not).
