Hit counter

Please suggest the best way to count my site traffic?

[Wisest Guy]

To a page? A folder? Your whole site? Any combination of these?
What server are you using?

You mean like how many people have visited your site? It would be very easy to do with PHP.

You will need to create a blank text-file and CHMOD it to 777. The reason I am using a text-file as a mySQL based one would take me a bit longer to write and test.


<?

$myfile = "visits.txt";

if(file_exists($myfile))//if the file exists
{
$var = fopen( $myfile,'r+');
$visits = fread($var,filesize($myfile));
rewind( $var );
$visits++; //increments the actual number of vists by 1
fwrite($var, $visits);
fclose($var);
}
else
{
print "File $myfile doesn't exist...";
Die();
}
$message = sprintf("",$visits);
print $message;
?>

If you know PHP it will all be familiar and I won't explain, if you need any more help feel free to PM me.
