Looking for a script

Anon

Hi,

I am looking for a script that will let me do the following.

I want to display images using this script along with a count of how many times that particular image has been viewed.

For example: img.php?img=xyz&type=jpg

Where img.php is the script, will display the image xyz.jpg along with the number of times xyz.jpg has been viewed via img.php

The count can be either stored in a MySQL table or a txt file.

Any help would be appreicated.

Thanks in advance.

p.s: I know how to display the image,

I just don't know how to count the number of views.

<?
$fp=fopen("stats.txt","r");
$count=fgets($fp,1000);
fclose($fp);
$fw=fopen("stats.txt","w");
$countnew=fputs($fw,$count+1);
fclose($fw);
?>

A simpler/faster but more resource-hungry method:
Create a new file (like imagename.txt), write one byte to it and close it.
Next time, open the file for appending, write another byte and close it.
This way you add one byte to the filesize every time you view it.
So, when you check the filesize you effectively count the number of views.

But it would be far better to use a database because then you can store records that contain the image location and the hits, and for example a date on which the image was last viewed.

If you want you can even create a history of each time the image was viewed.
This is expecially interesting for online shops, because you may want to know for example what kinds of products people are looking for during certain hours of the day or during Xmas etc.

I m looking for validation of url address like email address..can anyone help me regarding this.

Anon

about URLs: that has just been answered
about email: you can check to see if the format is correct, but to see if the adress is valid you need to send an email to the address.

Thanks you all, I'll try out your suggestions.
