[jesushax]

hi here is my vistor coutner code

 

<?php
$count_my_page = ("".$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/includes/counter.txt");
$hits = file($count_my_page);
$hits[0] ++;
$fp = fopen($count_my_page , "w");
fputs($fp , "$hits[0]");
fclose($fp);
echo $hits[0];
?>

2 questions:

 

1. is this script any good, i just want a simple how many vistors ive had

id like to have a page that just says

 

Vistors

 

Unique Vistors : 123456

This Month Vistors: 123456

Total Visitors: 123456

 

if someone could point me to a script this simple or perhaps show me one you have previosuly created that would be great

 

2. What permissons do i have to set to these files, as i have to get my host to do it

 

Thankyou

set chmod 777 then see what you get who do you have as your host all you should have to do is login to ftp and right click and go to chmod.....unless you have host where they don't let you access anything

 

for your counter check this one out
