Invisible Counter

[joshcxa]

How would I make an Invisible counter?
Can I make it so that it counts the hits on the home page and displays the hits on another page like hits.htm for example.

I also want to add where the viewer came from. Any help would be great.

The absolute most simple counter a a hitcounter that uses .txt files for saving data. Everytime a page gets shows where this counter-script is included the amount in the textfile increases by 1.

[php]<?php

$filename = "counters/countername.txt";

$fp=fopen($filename,"r");
$count=fgets($fp,1024);
fclose($fp);
$fw=fopen("$filename","w");
$cnew=$count+1;
$countnew=fputs($fw,$count+1);
fclose($fw);

?>[/php]

To show the pageviews on another page, you can use this script:
[php]<?php

$filename = "counters/countername.txt";

$fp=fopen($filename,"r");
$count=fgets($fp,1024);
fclose($fp);
echo "Total Pageviews: <b>$count</b>";

?>[/php]

no joy

coudlnt you just open up the .txt file to see the number of hits?

[webmaster]

But I guess he wants to do it online, another way is to use get_file_contents(filename);

[joshcxa]

yeah clients want to be able to see the hits online but on a seperate page.

how come the script u gave me doesn't work?

Try

Code: Select all

<?php

$filename = "counters/countername.txt";

if(!is_file($filename)){
touch($filename);
}

$fp=fopen($filename,"r");
$count=fgets($fp,1024);
fclose($fp);
$fw=fopen("$filename","w");
$cnew=$count+1;
$countnew=fputs($fw,$count+1);
fclose($fw);

?>
