USERS ONLINE

How do i count how many visitors are viewing my page?

For Example:

USERS CURRENTLY ONLINE: 5

Create a count.dat file in the same directory
Add this code to your php file

You can uncoment the echo if you want to display the count to the vistors.

I have created another file that opens the count.dat file and shows me the amount of visitors so only I can see it. Basically it's the same code, but with the line $counter++ comented out

<?php
$counter_file= "count.dat";
if(!($fp = fopen($counter_file, "r+"))) die ("Can not open file");
$counter = (int) fread($fp,20);
$counter++;

//echo "you're visitor number $counter";
rewind($fp);
fwrite($fp,$counter);
fclose($fp);
?>

Doing it this way, you are only opening the file one time, usingin the rewind function.

Here you can look at the code for a user online counter: http://www.netone.at/no_prod_useronline.html

Please do a search before you post.

You can't accurately do this, you can only show how many people viewed your page the last x minutes.

Or in 6 easy lines:

$count=join("",file("counter.dat"));
$count++;
$fp=fopen("counter.dat","w");
fwrite($fp, $count);
fclose($fp);
echo $count;

there you go
