russco32 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 First off, I'm totally new to PHP. I need help on a script for a Download Counter. I have 2 programs hosted on a Web Hosting Site who does not have the facility to count the number of downloads for each program. I don't really want to learn PHP so, 1: Is there an Open Source program I can use? 2: Is there someone out there who's prepared to guide me through setting it up? Thanks in anticipation.

Muddy_Funster Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 If you don't want to learn PHP then you are posing in the wrong forum section. As for 3rd party programs, you would need to provide information about what your server is capable of running, as well as how you would be planning to store your download count.

floridaflatlander Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 First off, I'm totally new to PHP. I need help on a script for a Download Counter. I don't really want to learn PHP ... I know what I call a download counter, what do you call a download counter, what do you want it to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russco32 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Thanks for the reply. I'm interested to know if anyone downloads the program. Some sort of counter that I can access to tell me how many times it's downloaded from the Web Site would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiacDan Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 You're probably not even serving the file through a script. You can just download and use a log file analyzer to show you the apache logs to see how many times each URL has been requested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
