Simple Counter?

[sdrawkcaB]

How do I just have a counter that shows how many people have checked the page.. All I want is the numbers, preferably text. I've seen it on tons of pages that has the text of whos checked the page, how can I do this?

[andr.in]

This has been asked before!

Search!

[Jubba]

my first post in this thread shows you how:

[sdrawkcaB]

I don't want it in Flash tho.. Also, I would like another file that shows how many times a file has been downloaded. In text also..

[Jubba]

that doesn't need to be done in Flash. It still shows you how to do it.

File downloads are a bit trickier. There are tutorials out there...

[sdrawkcaB]

Care to try and find them for me?

Uhhh, how 'bout using www.google.com to find them yourself.

[sdrawkcaB]

You don't think I've tried that? I've tried that for so long and I can't find anything.

[abzoid]

You didn't mention that in your request, and with the way it was worded, it comes across as less than courteous.

Now, back to the problem at hand. Counting file downloads isn't much different, you just set up the download link to go to an intermediate script page that increments the count, then redirects to the desired file. If you want to get fancy, you can use the same script for multiple files by passing some form of fileID parameter in the URL link to the count script.

[Jubba]

huh... google must not like you because I found about 10 pages worth of hits... I guess you just gotta know what you're looking for...


http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=php+download+counter

enjoy.

[sdrawkcaB]

Is the script that does all this PHP? I only know HTML....

[awligon]

look buddy, everyone's sh!tting all over and rightly so, but I feel bad for you so if you have php/mysql support, then I'll write you a file to use w/ phpMyAdmin that will create a small table to keep track of loads, etc... and also a .php file that will display the hitcount. You will of course need to send me the deed to your soul via express mail as payment.

[Jubba]

then learn PHP. its really not that hard. and yes, the code that does it all is PHP and you need PHP because HTML can't do anything like saving values to a text file or anything like that...

[sdrawkcaB]

Hmm. I'm not gonna learn PHP just for this. Since you're so good, can't you just attatch a .txt file with the proper instructions? I'll give you a dollar.

[abzoid]

He didn't get good at PHP by having others do things for him, and the "dollar" comment is just plain insulting.

[Jubba]

And I will officially never help you again. Thanks for your time. Enjoy your stay.

[sdrawkcaB]

How the hell is that insulting? A dollar for doing that is pretty good.

[abzoid]

*cough*

You have much to learn grasshopper, I suggest you start with a class in manners.

[Jubba]

Actually, for programming a fully functional hit counter/visitor tracker system I could probably get anywhere from $50-250. Probably more depending on the features required. I don't have a lot of skill but I have enough of it to be insulted when someone underestimates me.

[nobody]

Why don't you just do it yourself for free. Then sell it someone like yourself for a dollar.

[awligon]

Yeah, you really should think to be more respectful. I just told you that I would write the thing for you, and I'm working on a $1000 job as I type this. And I'm no where near as good as Jubba, and also no where near as helpful. So long story short, you can take your dollar and shove it straight up your ignorant *****. There are a ton of people on this forum that go out of their way to help people like you who are too lazy to put forth any real effort. All I'm trying to do is return the favor when I know how. But hey, what do we know? You've got a dollar... First, graduate high school, then read a book and get a life.

[sdrawkcaB]

^First off. You are an idiot. Nobody charges 250 dollars to do that. All I wanted was the code pasted. I didnt ask you to invent something. Put forth real effort? I'm not gonna learn PHP just for this. And shove it up my "*****" What the hell is that you idiot.

[abzoid]

Well Mr. Backwards, if ignorance is bliss then you must be absolutely euphoric.

You're lucky I'm not a mod, I'd have banned you a couple of days ago.

To the others that frequent this forum:
As a third generation native Oregonian I feel compelled to apologize for the behavior of this bad seed who obviously must be a transplant from elsewhere.

[Jubba]

You're calling me an idiot? Nice. Real nice. Why am I an idiot? Because I have put years of my time into learning these different languages so that I can charge higher prices? Put it this way, if you and I were both applying for the same job and you only knew HTML and I knew HTML, PHP, XML, and SQL and I was able to make it so that they never had to make updates on their site, and that they could change every aspect of their site without knowing HTML or any of those languages themselves... who do you think they would pick? Stop being an arse, I am trying to help you, not only with your question but also with what you decide to do next.

Moving on...I didn't say that I charged 250 for what you are asking for. I can charge 250 for something a bit more complete and complex. The point of my statement was basically that knowing HTML won't get you anywhere. HTML is powerless compared to other things and you really should start looking into learning another language (preferably a server-side language) if you really want to make any money in the web-design/web-programming game.

[awligon]

Jubba, I will pay you to ban him. I can only take so much of this. I try to just stay away but the emails keep bringing me back.

Furthermore, you have no room to call anyone an idiot when you go around making an arse out of yourself all over the place.

Take the time to teach yourself something. I pretty much ran through php/mysql in under a week. It's not hard if you actually apply yourself.

Just because you couldn't get 250$ for it (because your a dumbfuc|< ) doesn't mean nobody else can. I would charge that to do a counter system. You need to shut your mouf because it's writing checks your body can't cash, son.


Yea, your a fool. I sure hope you do something else with your life (ie McDonalds janitor, my gardener) because you make this industry look terrible.

Get off your lazy ***** and learn something.

If you were my son I'd backhand da sheot outta you.

[reverendflash]

dp - stooping to his level will not gain you points with the mods...

leave this kind of thing to the people who can do something about it, rather than fanning the flames. I know you meant well, but it can make things a lot worse.

thanks

and sdrawkcaB ...
Appologize right now, take a step back, breathe... now are you ready to behave like the rest of the people on this forum? If not, I would be happy to modify your posting privelidges to reflect your attitude.

Just let me know, I await your decision.

Sorry rev.

[sdrawkcaB]

I wasn't calling you an idiot Jubba, I was talking to the person above me. And like I said before, I didn't want him to program some new one, just to paste the code into notepad, and attatch the .txt file. I thought I made that clear since I couldn't find one anywhere.

[reverendflash]

this isn't a copy and paste forum...

please find someone who values their work the same as you... if you can.

what part of Oregon are you from?

I grew up outside Coos Bay...

Yeah Jubba, you took the time to learn it, why not pawn it off as *.txt files to people who are just lazy?
That deserves a :trout: .

[sdrawkcaB]

I'm not going to learn PHP just to use 1 function, for 1 page.

[reverendflash]

nobody here is getting paid to help you, so you can drop the attitude.

If you don't want to learn how to do this, then go pay someone to code it for you.

Those, are your only two options here.

I offered to pay him a dollar for 2 minutes of work.

Haha :P
I wondered how long that would take.

[awligon]

what for him to get banned or for people to start picking on him in php like dorks?

[nobody]

Haha, the banning, it's cool to pick on people in code.... :thumb:
