Parsing __utmz tracking cookie to get referral
I use Google Analytics on my site, and I want to read __umtz cookie to get referring link. I made some research and I wrote such code:
$refer=explode('utmcsr=',$_COOKIE['__utmz']);
if(count($refer)>1) $refer=explode('|',$refer[1]);
$refer=addslashes($refer[0]);
The problem is, this is not always working, sometimes I get junk as result. What I am doing wrong? Maybe someone have a good description of this cookie?
Answer
Check my Google Analytics Cookie Parser.
Google Analytics PHP Cookie Parser is a PHP Class that you can use to obtain data from GA cookies such as campaign, source, medium, etc. You can use this parser to get this data on your contact forms or CRM.
