PHP(Simple Hit counter)>>
A hit counter will let us know how many
times a page is accessed. In case one visitors loads the page several
times, the hit counter will increase several times (but this is likely to
happen only a few times).
The code for the hit counter bellow will
save the number of hits in a file named counter.txt (the
name of this file may be changed). Each time the page is loaded, the file
will be read, the number will be increased by one and the new number will
be saved to the same file.
| counter.php |
<?php
//The
file where number of hits will be saved; name may be changed; p.e.
"/counter_files/counter1.txt"
$counterfile = "counter.txt";
//
Opening the file; number of hit is stored in variable $hits
$fp =
fopen($counterfile,"r");
$hits =
fgets($fp,100);
fclose($fp);
//increading number of
hits
$hits++;
//saving
number of hits
$fp = fopen($counterfile,"w");
fputs($fp,
$hits);
fclose($fp);
//printing
hits; you may remove next line (and keep the counter only for your
records)
print $hits;
?>

To use this code, copy it to your page in
the exact position where you want to show number of hits. If your page is
a ".html" page, change the extension to ".php". Them, visit your page. In
the first visit, you will get a couple of errors (the file where number of
hits are recorded does not exists, so some errors will be shown in the
page). Reload the page and you will see no errors. The hit counter will be
working.
In case you want to use different hit counters for
different pages, chage name of $counterfile for each page (p.e.:
counter1.txt, counter2.txt, etc).
