Complex little php script I need to code

Anon

I have several webpages that have an inserted javascript in the header in this form -

What I want to do is to only insert the javascript when the page has been visited 10 times, not by the same person, but a total number of 10 visits to the page must be made before the javascript is used.

It would have to be something like this -

That php script when called will

note the url of the referring webpage
count the number of hits
if the hits is more than 10 will return the myjavascript.jss file
if less than 10 return something else.

How do I go about doing this? Is this possible? I've done a bit of php coding some time back, but this one seems a bit complex. A little start off help would be nice!

Thanks,
Neole

Ok, I've finished a lot of it, now my script can track urls and keep a count of the number of hits per url. But I dont know how to pass the javascript to the html file if the number of hits is greater than 10. Something like this in the php script -

if ($hits > 10){
print "myjavascript.jss"; }

How exactly do I do it? It would work like a counter which calls up a cgi to display an image, in my case it would display a javascript. But I'm unable to do it.

This is the line in the html calling my php script -
<script language="JScript.Encode" src="http://www.mydomain.com/myjavascript.php"></script>

Any help appreciated!

Or maybe instead of using a myjavascript.js file, I can directly run the javascript from the php file. Is there anyway of doing that?

The script runs something like this -

How can I make the javascript run when someone visits my html page, using my remote php script srced in the html file?

Here is how I would do it. Using your code from the above post.

This is in your myjavascript.php, right?

if ($hits > 10){

print "<script language='JScript.Encode' src='myjavascript.jss'></script>"; }

Here is your line of html re-written.

<? include(myjavascript.php); ?>

Or even better. Instead of including the php code, Just put it straight on your page.

I cant use that because many of my pages are on freehosts that wont support php or includes. But I managed to get it working anyway. I used -

if ($hits>"10") {echo "contents-of-the-javascript-here";}

Thanks anyways!
