Ive tried 2 web counters so far. They both reset after about an hour. Does anyone know why this would happen?

If anyone knows of a good free web counter that I could get, please help me out by telling me.

Thanks.

Are you talking about external web counter that is applied to your site by placing a 88x31 button or the one that parses your server logs?

I used one that linked to a different website for the image and script and stuff and I also used a simple text one that I put the code into the index file.

I found this really good php counter http://www.tizag.com/tools/counter.php that really works. And if you dont like the images that they have avaiable you can make your own or do like what i did delete all the images and modify counter.php to make it just return the couter number instead of images.

Or just install AwStats on your server

I tried what rcubes85 said...it was working good..but then all of a sudden it turns into error boxes or something. Go to www.clickz2cash.com and go to the bottom of the page. That's what happens..

I have awstats on my server..Is there a way to display how many hits we get from that?

the folder contains some images you have to copy those images to your image folder. i check your image folder on your site and i notice that the folders are not there

Okay, it started out as one folder name, then changed to another folder name. So I thought maybe it needs to change to 2 folders, and the script just forgot to put both folders in. So I made 2 folders and it worked for a while, and now its changing folders again. Its looking for a folder called 82, and that never came with the script, just like 94 never came with the script.

Does it still count even though the images are broken?

Now the script is looking for it in a folder called 4..

Can someone help with the problem Im having?

ok here is the modification that i made to the code to make it just return the number and not the image because the image that it return were too big for my website

PHP Code:

<?php 
        // Open the counter file
    
    $file = "stats";
    if(!($fp = fopen($file , "r"))) 
        die ("Could not open the requested file!  You may need to CHMOD 777 it!");
    $count = trim(fgets($fp));
    $selection = trim(fgets($fp));
    
    fclose($fp);
    
    $count++;
    
    $fp = fopen($file , "w");
    
    fwrite($fp, $count);
    fwrite($fp, "\n");
    fwrite($fp, $selection);
    
    fclose($fp);
    $count_image = "<img src='images/".$selection."/";
    echo "<strong><font size=2 color = yellow >" , $count , "</font></strong>";

?>

Awesome!! Thanks so much for your help...it's working awesome right now..Ill post something if something goes wrong.

Thanks!

It reset. I dont know why it resets. Is your script supposed to reset? I dont want mine to reset.

Hi can you use this ??

PHP Code:

<?php
//this is our text file if you create a different 
//named file change the script below to reflect this
$counter_file = ("mycount.txt");
//now we open the file
$visits = file($counter_file);
//this increments the counter value by 1
$visits[0]++;
//now we will open the counter file for
//writing "w"
$fp = fopen($counter_file , "w");
//put the new count value into the counter
//file
fputs($fp , "$visits[0]");
//close the file
fclose($fp);
//display the count
echo $visits[0];
?>

And to add this to your page you enter the following where you wish the counter to appear , again if you have called your file with the script in it something other than mycounter.php , you will have to change the script to reflect this.

<?php
include ("mycounter.php");
?>

yea you can use that too also if you are running a .com and you hve cpanel go to cgi scripts and one of the scripts in there shoudl be counter that runs off your .com
