The University of Arizona doesn't allow system calls or database access from 
PHP.

If you have ideas about how to keep track of the number of times a page is 
served in those circumstances please let me know.

Also I would like to add a "last updated" PHP field using file stats as 
standard to all the pages.

This is hardly a problem, but the upgrade path is.  Not only do files need to 
be renamed from *.(htm|html) to *.phtml.  All the hyper-refrences of the form
[*.(htm|html)] | [*.(htm|html)#*] need to be changed to the corresponding 
*.phtml[#*] form, except of course for those few references that don't need 
to be changed.
