Simple Hit Counter

obrienkev

Morning all,

I have created a simple hit counter script but for some reason its not working.

Any ideas why?

// hit counter
$stored = "count.txt";
$fp = fopen($stored,rw);
$count = fgets($fp,9999);

fclose($fp);
$fp = fopen($stored,w);

$count +=1;
fwrite($fp, $count);

print $count;
fclose($fp);

What exactly is it doing (i.e. is it stuck on one number, does it increment 5 or 6 times instead of 1, etc.)? What kind of error messages are you getting?

One thing I do notice is you should check out what goes in fopen(). http://www.php.net/fopen. "rw" isn't a choice. Use 'r+' to open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file.

try this:


$stored = "count.txt";
$fp = fopen($stored,"r");
$count = fgets($fp,filesize($stored));
fclose($fp);

$fp = fopen($stored,"w");
$count +=1;
fwrite($fp, $count);
fclose($fp);

print $count;

Didn't work. What should I have in count.txt??

A simple example would be:

$filename = "count.txt";
$count = file_get_contents($filename);
++$count;
$fp = fopen($filename, 'w');
fwrite($fp, $count);
fclose($fp);
echo $count;

see that

save this code counter.php

<?php
$myfile = "php.txt";

// file exists php.txt

if(file_exists($myfile))//if the file exists
   {                    //we run our counter script
   $var = @fopen( $myfile,'r+');
   $visits = @fread($var,filesize($myfile));
   rewind( $var );
   $visits++; // +1
   @fwrite($var, $visits);
   fclose($var);//closes our file reference
   }
else 
   {
       print " i can not found $myfile ... i make ok ..";
	$r = @fopen( $myfile,"w");
	$w = @fwrite($r, '0');
	fclose($r);
       Die();   

   }
$message = sprintf("%s Guast Of 1/9/2005.",$visits);
print $message;
?>

use

<?
include "counter.php";
?>

you not need create php.txt ... the counter.php has make 🙂
but you need "chmod" to php.txt when he Don't work..
