----------------------------------- Shaun Dreclin Fri Jun 09, 2006 10:41 am PHP Hit Counter ----------------------------------- Yeah, I keep going around and seeing people say how simple it is! 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) ----------------------------------- JackTruong Fri Jun 09, 2006 1:29 pm ----------------------------------- You'll need to understand some basic SQL for a hit counter. ----------------------------------- md Fri Jun 09, 2006 10:18 pm ----------------------------------- You don't need sql at all! It's simplest to use one but it's definitely not needed; a simple file will do. As for how exactly it's done I can think of a few ways but I don't really want to write the code for you. ----------------------------------- wtd Sat Jun 10, 2006 8:33 am ----------------------------------- You don't need sql at all!

Or a combination of the two: SQLite. ;) ----------------------------------- Shaun Dreclin Sat Jun 10, 2006 2:27 pm ----------------------------------- Blarg Alright, I dont know what SQL or whatever you called it is.. So uhm, who wants to be nice and forward the dumbass (being me) to a tutorial of some sort? :D ----------------------------------- rdrake Sat Jun 10, 2006 3:07 pm ----------------------------------- The first hit for "SQL tutorial" on [url=http://www.google.com/]Google gave me [url=http://www.w3schools.com/sql/]this. Also, a search on Google for PHP tutorial gave me [url=http://www.php.net/tut.php]this. ----------------------------------- JSBN Tue Jun 27, 2006 11:36 pm ----------------------------------- 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.
