Is there a way to make your own hit counter?

[thawolfman]

How hard is that to do without having to have a 3rd party put one at the bottom of your page for you?

Or is it just easier to sign up for one?

It's not hard at all to make your own script. But if you don't know how, there are literally millions of hit counter scripts in dozens of different languages all over the web.

 

[thawolfman]

I just signed up for some 3rd party stuff @ bravenet - site's in the sig and I wouldn't know where to begin to look for something...well aside from google that is

are you making a hit counter for your bong?

<?php
$fp = fopen("stats.txt","a+");
$count = fread($fp, 10);
$count = $count+1;
echo "You are Visitor No. ", $count ;
fclose($fp);
$fp = fopen("stats.txt","w+");
fwrite($fp, $count, 10);
fclose($fp);
?>

what do you do with that?
just copy it into your webpages HTML file?

Place it into the code of the page (the page has to be php). Also, create a blank txt document named stats.txt and place it in the same directory as the page the code is located on. Set the permissions on stats.txt to 777.

I'm a n00b at this also but I do understand creating a blank stats.txt document (Notepad) and CHMOD it to 777.

But I'm still confused on how/where to put that code? Would I use phpmyadmin or something like that?

*oops I read rossman wrong* ... you should be putting that code on any page you want the counter to increment/show.

That's the easiest way to do it... write to a text file. Others keep a database but that involves more processing power. You can also use session variables to keep people from constantly refreshing to increase the count repeatedly.

I can't code PHP from scratch too well, but man, you can do the same thing with Cold Fusion in 3 lines. It's too bad it ain't free.

 

[johnjbruin]

HTML is easy.
In the thread skoorb had earlier... everybody doing anything related to computers should know it.

 

[ISAslot]

Here's mine in ASP. It only counts one IP hit per session into a database.


Option Explicit
'On Error Resume Next

'Declare Vars
Dim dec, ip, page, table

'Set Vars
page = "iab_default"
table = "calendar"
dec = Session(page)
ip = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")

'If vars ok then count hit
If dec = "" Then
If ip = "" Then ip = "Unknown"
Dim rs, con
Set con = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
con.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=xxxx"
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.Open "SELECT IP, LastHit, " & page & " FROM " & table & " WHERE (IP = '" & ip & "')", con, 0, 3
If Not rs.EOF Then
rs("LastHit") = Now()
rs(page) = rs(page) + 1
rs.Update
Else
rs.Close
rs.Source = "SELECT TOP 1 * FROM " & table
rs.Open()
rs.AddNew
rs("IP") = ip
rs(page) = 1
rs.Update
End If
rs.Close: Set rs = Nothing
con.Close: Set con = Nothing
Session(page) = "Yes"
End If

Just place it in the body of the php page you want it to display on.

Rossman can figure out how to piece deals and pricematch but he can't figure out how to put code on any given page. HMMMM.
