If you include that file from Websaints server the code will be treated as it was run on your server and thus will try to look file alle.txt from [i]your[/i] server. If you simply request that file it will only add hits to Websaints counter. The referer checking would be pointless in this but I'd like comment it a bit in general. People do not seem to know or just forget that nowadays quite many users disable or block referer sending. In certain browsers it is an option and I believe most of the current commercial software firewalls include an option to block them. Not taking this into account can mean that users that do not want to send referers can't use the service at all. For instance one development version of the WordPress blog software required referer sending to make changing it's options possible. The referer checking was simply just for sending the user back to the page where he came from. Other example is a certain torrent site that refuses to work if not getting referer information. They reason is understandable though: there is apparently countless "mirror" sites that are not actual mirrors but simply index their files and points the user to download the .torrents from the original site.[/quote] [quote name="Hercco" post="3949" timestamp="1096478808"] Well it's impossible to "steal" this.

is this for online counting? for example: "Now 3 online visitors". Or for general counting?

If you read the example you will notice that it adds +1 to the counter each time somebody enters there.
So, if you put it somewhere on your main page, it will tell you how many people read this page.
If you clear the content of the file each morning, at the end of the day it will tell you how many people today. If you don't clear "alle.txt" it will tell you the total number since creation of the file.

Hi!! I'm going to show you how to make your own counter useing php!! It's really easy and you woun't have to keep seaching the net for free and bannerless counters.
So here comes the script:
<?php

//Simple class for counting visits
//Written by WebSaint

class Teller {
   function count() {
   $countfile = file("alle.txt");
   $count = $countfile[0];
   $count= $count + 1;
   $fp = fopen("alle.txt","w");
   $fw = fwrite($fp,$count);
   fclose($fp);
   echo $count;
   }
}

$obj =& new Teller;
$obj->count();

?>
Then add this to display the number of visitors:
<p>Number of guests visiting my site: <? include('alle.txt'); ?>.</p>
That's it. I hope you'll find the script useful!

Does the code hate me or is it wrong?Make Your Own Very Simple Counter Using PHP!

I've integrated my code and it counts double, it started like such: 11 and then when I refresh it adds another 11 so, it goes by 22 and then 33. Really bad :(

file based counter may jam - sometimes it wont be able to overwirte the data - when many visitors navigate to your web.

The other problem is if you ain't got permissions to open a file on your server...hence host dependent.

Good... but you might find others steal your counter if they find it...
they will link to your counter script, and store their page cound on your server.

its always good to add some kind of proetection againsed this. a good, but not perfect way is to make sure the referer comes from your own site, and nobody elses.

you misunder stand my meaning.......

i mean someone could replace
<p>Number of guests visiting my site: <? include('alle.txt'); ?>.</p>
the include file with a coomplete URL to anouther server. and replace "alle.txt" with a different filename.

A solution to your problem just encode your webpage.

Dose this script count page loads or unique ips? I have been searching fo a php script that count's unique visitors and not just page loads. Is there a way to mod this?

This will not insert any data into the database, it will always say 0 Hits

WOW, i found a solution:

$conn = mysql_connect("localhost","db_username","db_password") or die('MySQL said:  ' . mysql_error());
$db = mysql_select_db("db_name");
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM counter") or die('MySQL said:  ' . mysql_error());
while($visits = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{
$visits = $visits['visits'];
$visits_new = $visits + 1;
}

$query = "UPDATE counter SET visits = '$visits_new'";
mysql_query($query, $conn) or die(mysql_error());

echo "$visits_new Visits";

i removed TABLE from:
$query = "UPDATE TABLE counter SET visits = '$visits_new'";
and don't forget to set the visits value in the database to zero or any number you want, just don't leave it as default.

Try modifying that line to:
$query = 'UPDATE TABLE counter SET visits = "$visits_new" ';
Try this and let me know if it still produces the same error.

Now i got the same error, really so strange case to me :lol:

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TABLE counter SET visits = "$visits_new"' at line 1
