display how many times image is view

[Sonic_Rage]

I'm running in to a bit of a problem trying to figure out how to display how many times an image is viewed. I am setting up a simple gallery where you click on the thumbnail to view a larger image.

First, how do I make it record each time an image is clicked and then show either under the thumbnail and or the larger image how many times it has been viewed?

I can set up the tables in MySQL, but for some reason I'm drawing a blank on the rest.

Thanks. 😕

try this, instead of redirecting the user to the full size image, redirect them to a page that records the view (ie a text file or database) then redirect them to the image like this:

header("location:image.jpg");

then to display the views, just open the file or database and read the results. If your going to have a lot of images, I'd go with a database. Flat files can be a bit much to maintain.
