1. Create a new folder named "counter"

2. Create a file named "counter.php"

3. Create a file named "counter.txt" - it will be used as a database.

4. Paste the following code into the "counter.php" file:

[code:1]<?
$fp = fopen("counter.txt", "r");
$visits = fread($fp, 1024) + 1;
$fp = fopen("counter.txt", "w");
fwrite($fp, $visits);
print "document.write('$visits');";
?>[/code:1]

5. Place this on your HTML pages where you want counter to be displayed:

[code:1]<script language="JavaScript" src="http://.../counter/counter.php"></script>[/code:1]

You should change "..." to the URL which is pointing to the "counter" folder.


Enjoy your simple visits counter.

Well thats a nice share and wonderful script. Just some queries. I used before some counters which counts every refresh of home page. Is that also like that... I need a counter which don't counts page views.... I mean it counts single IP visits as one in 24 hours. If you have or can code... Can u help me in that??

[code:1]<?
$fp = fopen("counter.txt", "r");
$visits = fread($fp, 1024) + 1;
[B]if($_COOKIE["visits_counter"]!=1){
[/B] $fp = fopen("counter.txt", "w");
[B]}[/B]
fwrite($fp, $visits);
[B]setcookie("visits_counter", "1", time()+86400);[/B]
print "document.write('$visits');";
?>[/code:1]

This way only one visit per 24h will be counted.

[code:1]<?
$fp = fopen("counter.txt", "r");
$visits = fread($fp, 1024) + 1;
[B]if($_COOKIE["visits_counter"]!=1){
setcookie("visits_counter", "1", time()+86400);
[/B] $fp = fopen("counter.txt", "w");
[B]}
[/B]
fwrite($fp, $visits);
print "document.write('$visits');";
?>[/code:1]

Sure Tphilakone,
