Some people do get cranky when they are told to do some work for themselves.
Anyway.
To get a (completely useless) count of how many people are visiting your site,
you don't need to login at all.
One simple way is to create a database table and write the user's remote IP into it along with the current date and time, every time they view a page.
Then use the crontab to delete old entries, and fetch the number of viewers with a simple
SELECT count(*) FROM table
If you don't have a database, you can do the same with flat files.
No, not one big file, but several smaller ones.
Use the file's create date to find out when the file was written, and use the user's IP to define the filename.
unhelpfull enough for ya BB?
