Visitors Counter

Well, here we will make an hit counterusing php and an *.txt file. This script is so simple, but very usefull. First, le'ts make an file called counter.php, with the following codes inside:



That's all, it must e working fine (I'm using it :]). To show the number of hits on your site and add the counter, just insert this line where the counter will be:

It will show the visitors AND add the counter.

Problems, just post ;D


----------------------------- Edited -------------------------------------
I forgot, youll have to make an blank file called counter.txt. Have fun =P

I also used a script like this for counting but I found that it wasn't really enough information. It would be more accurate to count per session using cookies or something. I did a counter with cookies but then I wanted even more information like referrer, time spent, etc. I kind of gave up on this and just joined statcounter.com. They do it for you and you don't have to waste time making the program.

the only problem with statcounter is that it only shows the last 100 page loads for free accounts. But, I find the information very useful.

O, thanks for putting up the code. It actually is a good counter if you aren't worried about analyzing traffic. Many people will undoubtedly find it useful.

HOW ABOUT THIS?


------------------TO INCREMENT HITS BY 1------------------

<?php
$filename= "hits.txt" ;
$fd = fopen ($filename , "r") or die ("PHP script cant open $filename") ;
$fstring = fread ($fd , filesize ($filename)) ;
echo "$fstring" ;
fclose($fd) ;

$fd = fopen ($filename , "w") or die ("PHP script cant open $filename") ;
$fcounted = $fstring + 1 ;
$fout= fwrite ($fd , $fcounted ) ;
fclose($fd) ;
?>

OR

<?php
$filename = "hits.txt" ;

$file = file($filename);
$file = array_unique($file);
$hits = count($file);
echo $hits;

$fd = fopen ($filename , "r");
$fstring = fread ($fd , filesize ($filename)) ;
fclose($fd) ;
$fd = fopen ($filename , "w");
$fcounted = $fstring."\n".getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$fout= fwrite ($fd , $fcounted );
fclose($fd);
?>


HOPE THIS HELPS.

I am not showing an page tracker, this is just a hit counter! =/

Nice Code
You can Make DB (FlatFile) on your host with 755 PM Access For Rewrite on
and then make on php page and when user view this page the page input the 1 to file
for example if in file is 1
the php page get File data and add one to it and rewrite to file
thats all
u can find many CMs for this Post in google or hotscripts or Script Websites
