Does any one have a php counter script? Free counter script?

Does anyone know of a good counter script i could use to display the number of clicks/hits on a download link on one of my sites?

First upload a file anmed 'counter.txt' and chmod it to 666 with your ftp.
Then put this on your file:

<?php[br]$count = file_get_contents('counter.txt')+1;[/br]fwrite(fopen('counter.txt', 'w+'), $count);[br]echo $count;[/br]?>

cheers roly for the nice simple script.

First upload a file anmed 'counter.txt' and chmod it to 666 with your ftp.Then put this on your file:

<?php[br]$count = file_get_contents('counter.txt')+1;[/br]fwrite(fopen('counter.txt', 'w+'), $count);[br]echo $count;[/br]?>

uhh... shouldn you chmod it to 777 not 666?

I want to have a counter in my site but i would like to have it only increased everytime the user enters my homepage at the first time. I mean if i user goes to a subsection of my site and clicks the back button coming back to the home page i do not want the counter to be increased again (with Roly's counter the counter will be increased). I think the solution will be to create a counter which interacts with sessions or something like that. Does anyone has a counter which works as i explained?Thanks in advance.Sergio

i prefer using awstat a free website statics its more than a hit counter

you can Found it in http://www.hotscripts.com/

or Search in google.com

hii tested over 500 counter and statistic scripts (big numer load of time)look goyzi have selected 10-20 of the best(be adviced that i dont use txt scripts only the ones based on Db's)if any want a name or a script just pm metake care

The php counter script I use for all my sites is phphits v1.1 found at https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=43UjVN3tPMmH8QeiwYCYCA&gws_rd=ssl. It's very handy because you can set the time duration of what counts as a "new" hit, and you can display the number of users online in a duration of time, and also the number of hits in the last 24 hours. It also has a log page with statistics of what users came at what time, their IP and what page they hit. Very handy.

Also it's very easy to use if you know the basics of php. It uses a MySQL database.

This will not work in a busy web site. Because there are many concurrent access, we need some mechanism to synchronize the access.

The error is

1 The count may not be correct. Suppose one request get count=1. At the mean time, another request get the same count=1. after both write finish, count=2 instead of count=3

2 The write to the file may cause the file corrupt, because fopen is not locked even you open it for write.

the process should be:

<?

fopen()

flock(LOCK_EX)

fread()

count++

fwrite()

flock(LOCK_UN)

fclose()

?>

First upload a file anmed 'counter.txt' and chmod it to 666 with your ftp.

Then put this on your file:

<?php$count = file_get_contents('counter.txt')+1;fwrite(fopen('counter.txt', 'w+'), $count);echo $count;?>

omg.. the last post in this thread was over 4 months ago.. And the original poster isn't even a member of the board anymore! Why bring back a thread that has been dead for so long? Arrrrrggh..

The others can find what they want when search in the forum. Do you want others to get the wrong answer?
