Does anyone know of a script or have a script that track the number of times a link is clicked and then display it. Like http://flashmo.com does.

Thanks

Yes.

PHP Code:

<?php
$ID = $_GET[ID];
$current_clicks = file_get_contets($ID.'clicks.htm');

$current_clicks++;

file_put_contents($current_clicks, $ID.'clicks.htm');
?>

then just format all the URL's with a specific ID like
file.php?ID=2

To find out how many clicks, just use

PHP Code:

<?php
$ID = "2"; // set this as something like 2.
echo file_get_contets($ID.'clicks.htm');
?>

Very simple, but seems to meet your requirements.

This is not working for me. I have corrected the spelling mistake of contents, but I do not see how the script works all it seems do do is create a file called '1'

Just have the "ccount/click.php?id={ID}" script write to a mysql DB when the link is clicked.

Or you could have it increment the amount of "clicks" on a specific link, by querying the amount before, adding one and then replacing the old amount.

I have looked at Ccount but unfortunately i do not have a database to write to. I was more looking for a piece of code that simply writes to a txt file when the page is displayed, and then a piece of code that will grab that info and display it

Then why not write to a file with the link id followed by a comma.

PHP Code:

<?php
$id = $_GET['id'];

if (isset($id)) {
     $file = fopen("linkCount.txt","w");
     fwrite($file,"$id, ");
     fclose($file);
} else {
     print "Error";
}
?>

Something like that, you may want to check against all of the possible links to avoid "$id" spam. You should also store IP's to prevent people trying to inflate the link count. Also, if your looking for a mysql DB, pm me.

sorry this script is not working. Nothing is written to the file

In that case the file is not writeable. You should hire a programmer to take a look at your backend.

My bad, I had an extra set of quotes.
