I have been looking endlessly for a counter script for a site im working on, all i need is a simple text one, on one page that counts all visits, not unique, no txt file or database, just simply a number on the index page which increases, cant i find any?? nope!

Any ideas you lovely folks??

hope this helps you out but a simple one would not be hard to make if you want all the code run on your site but here is a site where you can sign up for one and it's just copy and pasting the code over to your site.. http://www.statcounter.com/free_hit_counter.html

hit register on the left and off you go

thanks for the link it looks good, but i would need one running from the site it will be on, the site will be distributed about, and with no webmaster as such to look after things regularly

no problem got a solution here and will refrence the site since it is not mine...

this one was downloaded from http://www.onlinephpscripts.com/ it's a combination of mysql and php so you need to setup a mysql user/pass/db and execute these queries
CREATE TABLE `counter` (`counter` int( 9 ) NOT NULL);
INSERT INTO 'counter' ('counter') Values (0);

then the php code is as follows

PHP Code:

<?php
//These variables are for connecting to database. Using MySQL you need a username, password, and name of database you are connecting to.
$user="onlineph_admin";
$password="admin";
$database="onlineph_members";
//Make the connection to the database with the mysql_connection command.
mysql_connect("localhost",$user,$password);
//Select the database we set up with the SQL file, which is included with this file.
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
//SQL query that selects the counter and adds one to it each time the page is loaded.
mysql_query("UPDATE counter SET counter = counter +1");
//Puts the value for counter, which is in the database into a variable that we can call later.
$count = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("SELECT counter FROM counter"));
//Prints out the value of count which we got from the database
print "$count[0]";
//closes the connection to the database
mysql_close();
?>
