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:

CODE

<?
$file = 'counter.txt'; // this is the file where the number of visitors will be written
$fopen = fopen("$file", "r"); // open the text file
$count = fread($fopen, 1024); // read the text file
fclose($fp); // close the text file
$count = $count + 1; // add one more hit
echo "$count"; // print the number
$fopen = fopen("counter.txt", "w"); // open the file again
fwrite($fp, $count); // write the new number
fclose($fp); // close the file
?>

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:

CODE

<? include("counter.php"); ?>

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.

Can You Add Images Into A Mysql Database? - Using Php? (21)

I'm learning php in class right now, but I'm still not that good at it, what I'm
wondering is when I write the php so that it can connect with a database, can I at the same time

you can search for a keyword, and it will bring back a list of all the possible entries with that
keyword, but each of these entries will have a photo associated with it. Now, do I put these image
files directly into the database, or do I write the code to link them from my files to th...

Increment A Mysql Column - how to increment a MySQL column one unit (7)

Hi, I have a column in a MySQL table which contains a counter of the views of the object described
by this table. I would like to increment this value by one everytime the object is viewed. Obviously
came into my mind the possibility of retrieving the value of this field, store it in a variable
increment this value by one and perform an UPDATE query again with this new value. My question is if
there is a MySQL option to update the field with its actual value plus an unit increment. I hope you
understand the issue....
