I'm not looking for anything that logs visits or anything fancy. Just want a simple text (or graphical if I must) counter for the index page only. We provide logs for our clients but one of them wants a counter so it shows his visitors how popular his site is.<br />
I've searched for a js on a1 (to no avail) and did a search on this site & found a lot of resources for counters that use databases & stuff. Is there not a simpler counter I can use? I tried using something FrontPage has but it didn't seem to work and I'd rather not rely on a FP component.<br />
Pls help! TIA.<br />
sb<!--content-->don't know how or if you can do it in javascript, you can however do it in php with no database, or you can Download <!--more--> a php script from here (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hotscripts.com/search/?query=counter&category=PHP&bool=AND">http://www.hotscripts.com/search/?query ... P&bool=AND</a><!-- m -->) that'll do the trick, putrid counter looks quite simple (pity about the name
)<!--content-->there's a million simple hitcounters online. bravenet.com has one. a simple google search should turn up about a 90% ratio of decent links for a simple javascript counter.<!--content-->leoo - i'm not sure if i'm reading it correctly or not - but doesn't the putrid counter just create a file w/ a counter in it? i'm not versed in php so i'm not sure - but that's what it looks like. all i want is a simple counter that will be displayed at the bottom of the page.<br />
<br />
transmothra - i checked out bravenet.com & they all seemed to be logging-type counters. since i have logs i'm not interested in using a counter that does that - just something that counts each time the page is hit. i don't think it can be done w/ js (after reading other common threads). i'm hoping to find an easy pearl script - but i'm still searching! thanks for the help.<!--content-->There should be tons of Perl ones available through the first link...<br />

(requires Perl and SSI)<!--content-->you're almost there, all it is you have a piece of php code on your page, which writes the hits to a flat file, at the same time displaying the number of hits in a counter, problem with this is you would have to rename you index to a .php extension (unless you configured you server to parse .html as .php), easier would be to use a cgi (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hotscripts.com/Perl/Scripts_and_Programs/Counters/Image_Based/">http://www.hotscripts.com/Perl/Scripts_ ... age_Based/</a><!-- m -->) counter like htmlite said.<br />
A remotely hosted counter is by far the easiest just it also acts as a link to the counter host.<!--content-->You could try theCounter.com instead.<br />

You will need to change the digits 000000000 to be your own ID number.<br />
There are two separate places in the code where this has to be done.<br />
<br />
The word CENTER can be changed to LEFT or RIGHT if you need a different<br />
alignment of the image. There are two places that this needs to be done.<br />
<br />
Make sure you refer to the correct server. Find the two c1.thecounter.com<br />
entries and change these to match the one your account is on. This may be<br />
c1.thecounter.com or c2.thecounter.com or even c3.thecounter.com perhaps.<!--content-->whenever i have a real problem like this, i do the cheap thing (or i ask you guys). make a page with geocities and make a hit counter, then copy and paste the code.. hehe...<!--content-->
