[megafu]

hi and thanks for trying to help me out! :P

i would like to create a graphic counter but i just have no clue how to in one point of the thing.

The thing i pretend to do is something like what follows: when a certain image is loaded it updates the DB and image. so users cand come to my site and get a free "simple" counter.

example: user comes to my website clicks "create counter" ... gets a html counter witn some image .... then displays it on its website/blog, then each time the image is loaded ... it updates the DB and image

really need help on the "when the image is loaded ... it updates the DB and image" :(

thanks :)

well to do it graphicly you would have to use GD. then you could just have on there website an include script that points to a php page on your site which handles everything.

[code=php:0]
<?php
$ID = "1462";
include('http://www.yoursite.com/counter/updateDB.php');
?>
[/code]

then in the updateDB.php page just have it update the DB, lol. :)

Why would you?  Why not create an image for each number, 0 through 9 and then use a little function to replace any number with that of it's counterpart image.  This would be really simple, especially if you gave the images numbers as names, e.g. 0.gif, 1.gif, 2.gif.....

Get the idea?

hey, well... first of all thanks for your help but i think i didnt explain well the thing is the users would only have a simples code like in the example bellow:

[code]
<div><a href="http://www.mywebsite.com"><img src="http://www.mywebsites.com/counter/123456_type.jpg" border=0><br/>Get your counter</a></div>
[/code]

where: 123456 is the counter ID ... and type the type of image to display ... like if have 3 types (black background, white, yello with a monkey! :P) :)
