Cookies and times page is visited.

[izildop]

So I need a page that holds a cookie name and will tell you how much times this cookie name is visited.

 

So I got this for the form.

 

So lets say I type in the form the name Paul, next time if I type Paul again the cookie will say, hello paul you have visited this page 3 times depenting ofcourse how much time he as visited already.

 

If I will type another name like Bob, it will say, Hello bob you have visited this page 1 time.

Somebody can help with this ty.

<?php

echo "naam:<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" size=\"20\"><br/>";
echo "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Verzenden\" />";
?>

ok firstly you would need to set a cookie for the page your talking about....here is a example

setcookie ('time_visited', time(), 3600, '/' , 'domain.com', true, false);

when revisiting this page again you can do something like this:

if (isset($_COOKIE['time_visited']))
{
    $time_visited = $_COOKIE['time_visited'];
    $last_visited = date('m/d/Y H:i:s', $time_visited);

    echo "Hi User, you last visited: " . $last_visted;
}

you may want to look at the manuel here regarding cookies: http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

 

i hope this is what you are looking for

Just for the record a user can delete a cookie file or gets deleted when closing browser.

 

If is something you want to control and not the client use session
