what do you mean by "Page View" ?

depends how filtered you want it, but just do like a query to mysql adding 1 to the a "INT" field. But thats very basic, so if you refresh it will count you again.

 

Depends how you want it to behave.

On every page you want to calculate page views do this:

 

//Update views

mysql_query("UPDATE YOURTABLE SET page_views=page_views+1 WHERE page_id=".$page_id."") or die (mysql_error());

 

Be sure to change your table and column names though.

the problem with the above examples is that if someone was to go through your site and go to your home page numirous times, it would count them as a hit.

 

what i do is something like this:

 

if (!isset($_COOKIE['home'])) // check to see if they have been on the homepage before and if they have not the do below.
{
    setcookie("home","1",time()+3600); //set a cookie so that you know they have been to your home page within the last hour.
    mysql_query("update table set visitors=visitors+1"); //update the database.
}

 

that way you dont get loads of hits on that page if someone keeps going throught the site and hitting the same page all over again.
