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

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.

Well it's impossible to "steal" this. 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 your 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.

But if you substitute the .txt file with a php file is't better?like this CODE <?php
<?php
$now=fopen("count.php","r+");
while(!feof($now)){
$cont=fgets($now,2);
if ($cont=="N") {
$check=fgets($now,3);
if($check=="V=") {
$nvisit=fgets($now,4);
echo $nvisit;
settype($nvisit,"integer");
$posi=ftell($now);
fseek($now,($posi-2));
fwrite($now,($nvisit+1));
exit;
}
}
}
fclose($now);
?>
and a count.php like this
<?php
NV=34
?>

there are many scripting languages and you can find counter in each. first check which scripting is available on your server and then try to find its script for counter. i reccomond altavista.com rather than google.com for finding free scripts.

Why search or write you own counter ? if you want an easy way and a ads-less counter, just go to your astahost control panel, under Preinstalled Scripts / CGI Center / Counter, you can choose between 35 diferent types of counters and configure almost anything. After you choose your desired counter, press preview to see it how it's going to be and if you like, press make html and it will write a code to insert in your page. Greets Deivid

Why don't you use a beautiful flash counter connected with a php code. An example can be downloaded from flashkit.com tutorials.

I know a very good free script named EliteStats. You just have to put its folder in your main directory and include a one line of code in your webpage. It will display How many visitors are online and complete statistics with IP address. Sohail Ahmed sohail4@msn.com

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.

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?
