Creating a Hit Counter

[learninghtml]

Hi,
I currently use a hit counter supplied from a 3rd party. I have trouble getting in touch with them. I know I can do a search for someone else "more reliable".

But I was wondering how hard it would be to create my own hit counter?

Does anyone know of a site where I could get the code or hints & tips on doing it myself?

Many thanks in advance....

if you are tinking of having a hit counter written in JavaScript then forget it it.JavaScript can not read or write to files,hence will not give you the persistence you will need to keep your counter work accross the pages.

Search for php/jsp/asp based hit counters, they are all over the net.

Or you will find one in the php forums on these forums as well.
