Download Tracker?

[Baby Jai]

Is it possible to have a download tracker attached to a link? Or just have it so how mnay times some one has clicked on that link

Are you asking how to track how many times EACH SPECIFIC user has clicked on it, or how many times the link has been clicked (by anyone)?

If it is the latter you are looking for, an easy way would be to have the link point to a file with autoredirect to the right target. Then attach one of those free hits-counters to that file. Otherwise, you would need sever-side code to run a script to update a counter everytime the link is clicked (=> hit counter).

Tracking cliks from specific users requires server-side coding to log users in a logfile, and then some script to parse the logfile and count user-hits per user. Messy stuff but can be done.

I know it can be done, and whats the odds of someone knowing a server side language? PHP, Java cgi? Someone out there shout me the code
