Adding a value

Stiffler

Hi!
I'm trying to make a link that looks like this:

Aftonbladet.se [2 klicks]

and ofc I want the number of klicks to update as soon as anyone klicks the link. my code so far is:

<a href="http://www.aftonbladet.se">Aftonbladet.se
[
<?php
$klick = "0";
$klicka = "1";
$tklick = $klick + $klick2;
echo $tklick;
?>
klick]
</a>

My problem is how do I get the browser to understand that it's suppose to add +1 every time someone klicks the link?

you will need to store each click in a db or at the least a text file. the server cannot remember how many clicks a link has had.

on a side note. the code you posted was wrong. your trying to add to strings together. here is a better version.

<?php 

  $klick = 0;
  $klicka = 1;
  $tklick = $klick + $klicka;
  echo $tklick;

?>

Ok, how do I do that :queasy:

Or store the value in a hidden field.

<input type="hidden" name="tklick" value="<?echo $tklick?>">

But putting it in a file is maybe better..

$filenaam ='file.txt';
fd= fopen($filenaam,"w") or die("PROB!!");
$schrijf=fwrite($fd,$tklick);
fclose($fd);
