Hello all,
Here is a neat and helpful PHP script that can count unique page views on your website. First you need to open up a new page in your text editor and paste in this code. CODE <?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); ?> then save the page as counter.php Next open up another new page in your text editor and just save it as hits.txt Then upload all of the files onto your server and CHMOD hits.txt to 0777 or just 777. After that open up your main page or the page you will be placing the counter on and pste in the following code. CODE <?php include ('counter.php'); ?> then save and close that page. If needed, re-upload the file(s) to your server. Very simple and easy to use. Comments are allways appreciated.

Very nice! All of the other ones I've seen are very complex and I have no idea what they mean, but I understand this one. Do you mind if I use it on my site?

Do you think that we must use Cookies to make a UNIQUE COUNTER SCRIPT? What do you think?

After that, I saw the counter. Then I reloaded the page. It stays the same. Then I reloaded it again, then the counter increased by +1. After that, I reloaded and reloaded the page again. It stays the same. Then I went to http://gamerspub.trap17.com/hits.txt and I saw many logs of my ip address. You must use cookies() in order for it to work well. Or sessions. |

In my book thats not needed and it makes things complicated. It can mis count thats true. However its sensitive in different ways. So what you said depends.
