Bit annoying need this as a requirement for a school project

Do you people have any code so i can make a txt file that records the number of vistors that have visited my site and do i just put the file in the hosted webfolder.

This is the site im doing it for:

http://pearcy.homeftp.org/runnerway/index.php

Code:

<?php
$fp=fopen("hits.txt","r");
$count=fgets($fp,1024);
fclose($fp);
$fp=fopen("hits.txt", "w");
$count++;
fputs($fp, $count);
fclose($fp); 
echo $count;
?>

Oh and you should check your site out in Firefox. (Or not if you don't want more work to do...)

Also wrong forum i believe. And no homework threads. And use google in future.

Other than that, good luck.

Yeah might help if i paid more attention to what i was doing. Oh well... That *should* work now i believe.

Do i just copy that into a text document and view it using the url.

Becuase that aint working...

Whoops, had made a bit of a mistake on line 7... Updated it though now, i gave it a go and it worked fine for me. Just put that in your page where you want the number of hits to appear.

Also this assumes the file you're using to store the count in is called hits.txt, and you need to chmod it to 666.

If you just save it, and make it it's own file, you'll just get the number incrementing each time... working link

Ok im not sure what you meant by the last bit.

Where in the page do i copy it anywhere i presume?

Dont get the bit with the txt file...

Jotun · 24 Jan 2006 at 20:57
