Copy and Paste if you have PHP

Create a file.txt ("file" can be anything) in the directory of the file and set the CHMOD in your FTP client to that file "0777"

Put this to the PHP file

<?php
     $hits = 0
     $file="file.txt";

     $handle=fopen($file, "r+");
     $hits=fread($handle,filesize("$file"));
     fclose($handle);

     $hits++;

     $handle=fopen($file, "w");
     fwrite($handle, $hits);
     fclose($handle);
?>

Then you can use $hits as the current hit counter number.

I've only have 2 years computer experience. I don't even know what PHP is.

PHP is a server side web language. All of the coding is done on the server. HTML and Javascript are calculated on the users computer. PHP is equivalent to ASP, just not supported by Microsoft, so you don't have to pay for it. It's more flexible than Javascript because it allows you to use actual programing rather than a markup language and having it done on your server, you isolate what the viewers can see. If you have a Linux based server, most likley you have PHP support. If you have a Windows based server, most likley you have ASP. I think Macs use PHP also. But don't hold me up to that.

In a PHP (or ASP) file, you can have HTML as normal, but then when you want the functionallity of PHP you tell it to switch languages to PHP with <?php, like JavaScript with <script language="JavaScript">. And end it with ?> just like JS being .

Other info:

ASP is alot like VB and PHP is simaler to C++, in my experience. Especially when you're talking about the syntax.

You might as well speak Japanese to me.

With my present counter, I signed up, cut and paste code into my website. That's it.

I have no ideal what kind of server Comcast (my ISP) uses.

Hey, all you said is that you needed a counter. I was just trying to help and give you another option.

I know wizard. I was not complaining and I thank you for your help but I don't know what can be used with Comcast's server as my website is on it.

A couple of addenda-

You don't have to pay for ASP.
ASP runs on Apache, too.
PHP can be run just as easily on IIS as it can on Apache (well, nearly).
Macs typically run Apache, so they have PHP and (optionally) ASP support.
PHP is based on C, as is C++.
ASP uses VBScript - a scripting language based very much on VB (which is based on VBA)

And let's not forget JSP and ASP.Net... Basically, JSP is like Java's version of ASP/PHP, only with much more functionality available, because it can use server beans, and JSP pages are typically faster than ASP or PHP pages, because they run from a compiled servlet, rather than having to be interpreted every time the page gets hit...

As for ASP.Net, it's currently the most advanced of the four, because it supports everthing JSP can do, and much more, with regards to web stuff...

As for the counter, Lynch, try googling for "free CGI hit counter"... I think there are a fair few companies out there who provide that sort of service free of charge, if you're willing to have the counter as a link to them...
