I am trying to make a code that will get various stats from the user when he or she visits my site like :
browser
computer
screen size
ip address
referrer
etc.

This is the code i have so far. I ma stuck on what i should do in the function.

Code:

<html>
        <head>
            
            
        </head>
            <body>
                
                <script type="test/javascript">
                function stats (){
                    var data =
                
                }
                </script>
                
            </body>
</html>

One more question will I need to use php to send it to my email of could javascript do this.

You can't get the ip address from JS code. Nor can you get the computer (if by that you mean the brand/cpu/etc.).

You can get referrer and user_agent (which tells you the kind of browser) and screen size. Yes, you will need to use PHP to send yourself the email.
