haiya guys, some forums have this feauture, there are some images in a page and below it, there is a text showing how many times the image had been viewed. is that code still i html, or js?

if someone know how to do it, can you help me plz?

I think that would be achieved using PHP and MySQL. Where MySQL is a database and it holds a record for each image and every time the image is viewed the PHP updates the record.

If you would like more detail on how this is done dont hesitate to ask,

well, there is actually lots of features i want my website to have. haha! But the prob is, I don't know how to code it. Like making a comment box, I can't understand how to do those tutorials. But i've found a zip file of somethng like guess comment box. All I need to do is just save it in the ftp where my html's are saved. Anyway, back to the image viewed times, I tried to google on how to do it but i didnt find an easy tut. as what you have said, i can do it in php and mysql right? I dont know much about mysql actually. I guess you can explain it to me.

Haiya! I just found some good tuts in making a comment box, and a pageview counter. I guess i'm going to study on how to do those things first. Harhar!

Ok, it should be quite easy if you find yourself a good tutorial.

I need to write some stuff up to add to the scripts section as these sorts of questions crop up quite often.
