I guess there are multiple ways to engage this problem. It depends how "deep" you want to log the traffic. If you just want to count the traffic of each image, video etc you could just wrap up each image and video to go through php first with file_get_contents() (look in the php manual there are some examples how to work with this), count how many bytes of data will be sent out and log this in a database or however you want to do this.
While it's a good suggestion, don't use file_get_contents because it reads the whole file in to memory. If you use it on a 200Meg movie, it uses > 200Meg of memory. Use filesize() to work out the size. Then use fpassthru to shove the data through. http://www.php.net/fpassthru -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
