hello ,
i want the source code of page hit counter.anyone can give it ti me?
or can i find it anywhre?

Did you have a specific language in mind? Because usually they have to be server side, so I will write it in PHP because that is how I will...

<?php
$fp = fopen("counterfile", "a");
fwrite($fp, "\n");
fclose($fp);
$fp = fopen("counterfile", "r");
$file = fread($fp, filesize("counterfile"));
$split = explode("\n", $file);
$visits = sizeof($split);
print "You are the $visits visitor to this page";
?>

Thing is PHP, and I'm guessing you were wanting a javascript one, well I've denounced client-side, so bla...

Go to thecounter.com or something.

gian is the posterchild of computer science. Way to go with linear time algorithms to check the number of hits so far!

You make me throb all over, Psion.

Fine...
<?php
$a++;
print "$a visits";
?>

There. Only, the PHP interpreter will be invoked each time, and the variables will be initialized again.

Just open the counter file, read a number, add one to the number, print out that number, and resave the new number to the file...

taubz, then you have to make sure locking is all done correctly, for when you have simultaneous hits.

Not if your site doesn't get that much traffic.

Going back to gian's code:
$file = fread($fp, filesize("counterfile"));
$split = explode("\n", $file);
$visits = sizeof($split);

What's the point of that? It's just filesize("counterfile"), no? (In which case it's constant time!)

Yes, that would be more efficient... I was probably brain dead, sleepy, or both...
Psion: Split second access times, I doubt it...
