Pikachu2000 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 It would depend on how you store the information regarding how many visits each article has.

Anti-Moronic Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Yeh, there's generally 2 ways this is done. A column within the articles table of the database which increments on each view, or a completely separate table to store data on hits. Unless you require further complex tracking of hits, the first is easiest and will suit your need. If you don't know how to increment a column within a table, I would consider learning a bit more mysql before you attempt any other related tasks.
