/**
  Redirect to a Piwik webbug (1 pixel image), or the Google-Analytics one.
  OLnet.org / OER tracking project.
  @copyright 2010 The Open University.

Usage - Piwik - title=X, r=referrer are optional,
    <img alt="" src="http://localhost/track/PI-1/example.org/path/to/123?title=My+Title" />

Usage - Google-Analytics,
    <img alt="" src="http://localhost/track/UA-1234-5/example.org/path/to/123?title=My+Title&r=http%3A//referer.example.com/" />

An Apache .htaccess/httpd.conf edit is required:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    # If the file/dir is NOT real go to index
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
  </IfModule>
  <IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    # If mod_rewrite is NOT installed go to index.php
    ErrorDocument 404 index.php
  </IfModule>
