Then I look at the socalled tutorial, and it makes absolutely no sense -_-; So anyways, how do I make a text counter that goes up by one every time sombody veiws the page? From the beginning please, ive never used PHP before.. (Im building my site with frontpage) |

You'll need to understand some basic SQL for a hit counter. |

The first hit for "SQL tutorial" on Google gave me this. Also, a search on Google for PHP tutorial gave me this. |

if you dont care about unique Vs repeat users, just create a text file and everytime someone visits the site, get that number and increase it. then re-write the file. |
