PHP Web Counter

[MrDale]

How do you make your own PHP Web Counter?

Look here for premade scripts:

Here is a simple download counter I use.
Could be used as a webpage counter.

I use a link like
<a href="download.php?this_file=file1">file one</a>

<?
/* Count the number of times a file was downloaded */
function count_hits()

{

    global $this_file;

$cfile = "$this_file.php".".dat";

$fh = fopen($cfile,"r+");

if(!$fh)

{

    die("<br>Failed to open file <i>$cfile</i>.");

}

$s = fgets($fh,6);

$count = (int) $s;

$count = $count + 1;

$count = str_pad($count,6);

rewind($fh);

fwrite($fh,$count);

fclose($fh);

header("location:my/webur/of a file/to download/")

or die ("error1");

}

/* Notify me when a file is downloaded. */
function mail_this()
{
    global $this_file;
    $to = "";
    $subject ="Download complete";
    $message = "Some one downloaded $this_file";
    mail($to,$subject,$message);
}

switch($this_file)

{

    case file1:
    $this_file="file1";
    mail_this();
    count_hits();
    break;



    default:

    echo "default error";

    break;



}

?>

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Anyway how does that download counter work?

[menator]

you can see an example here

click on a file to download when asked to save cancel and refresh the page the downloads number will increase.

[MrDale]

I know that what i meant was how do i install it

[menator]

using what's above you will need to create a file1.php.dat
make sure to chmod 777 so it will have write access.
then point a link to the download.php.
To view the number of downlads just include the file1.php.dat.
e.g.

<?
include("file.php.dat");
?>

[MrDale]

K Thanks

[menator]

You can keep count of more than one file just create a file.php.dat
for each and include it with the switch function that's in the download.php.

[MrDale]

Hey that LOGIN script on your page doesnt download!

[menator]

Try again I was updating the page don't know but that might have had something to do with it.

[MrDale]

NO there still not there

[menator]

Strange?
I've downloaded it .
You can go to
ftp://www.menator.net/pub
