LordLanky Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hi Guys, i was hoping for some advice. Part of a site i'm making involves a count of the number of times a unique visitor hits a certain page. For example, if someone goes to www.mysite.com/counter.php?ref=5 - then for the integer object who's reference is 5 should increment. However, if someone refreshes the page, i dont want the number to increment again - i want it to be a count of unique visitors. Does that make any sense? Any help is appreciated. My first thought is to use cookies and have a record of which pc has visited that link. But are there better ways? Thanks in advance, Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/170991-how-do-i-stop-refresh-hammering/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Cookies or sessions. A cookie would be the preferred method IMO. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/170991-how-do-i-stop-refresh-hammering/#findComment-901863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
