Is there a way to let php know when a visitor has left a site ?

Thanks

Yes - but your question has imprecise semantics.

If you want to see them following a link out of your site you'll need
to route all your external URLs through a redirector.

If you use a session cookie you'll be able to see when they've closed
all their browser windows (but you can't easily discriminate between
this case and a browser not accepting cookies).

You can hook into the garbage collection for the session in PHP to see
when it gets reaped.

You can do clickstream analysis on your log files.
