Re: Hit Counter

why dont you have a php page as your index and make that so that it adds 1 to the value that is in a text file and make your default page have a little php code that prints what is in that text file to the page.

what you want to do is get it to read the value that is in a text doc and then do a sum of (whats in text doc) + 1 and save to the doc. i can make a code but i dont have enough time at the mo. i will make it in like half an hour and post it.

Re: Hit Counter

how do I do it?

Instructions:

1) Download the EZ Counter zip.

2) Unzip its contents and upload the files to your PHP enabled webserver.

3) CHMOD "ezcounter.txt" to "777" so that the file is writeable.

4) Add this line of PHP code to your page to increment and print the counter:

include("ezcounter.php");

You need to follow those instructions. ;)

Re: Hit Counter

try CHMOD "excounter.txt" to "0777" i dont know if there is a difference between "0777" and "777". sorry that i did not write code in time but someone uploaded a virus to my website (i am not talking about my self) so i have now blocked anonymous ftp on it.

Re: Hit Counter

I have used the following code in my page and it works absolutely fine:

<?php
$countfilename = "VisitorCount.txt";
$whattoread = @fopen($countfilename, "r") or die("Error opening count file");
$contents = fread($whattoread, filesize($countfilename));
fclose($whattoread);

$contents = ($contents + 1);

$whattoread = @fopen($countfilename, "w") or die("Error opening count file1");
@fwrite($whattoread, $contents) or die("Error with addition");

fclose($whattoread);
echo $contents;
?>

Just make sure you set the VisitorCount.txt CHMOD to 777. I do this via an FTP client, much easier!!
