A VERY simple hit counter.

By : sethadam1

<?php

/*
simple_hit_counter
steps:
1. create a file hit.txt in the current directory and type a zero as the only character in it.
If you want to cheat, instead of a zero, use the number you want to start with.
2. chmod the file to 766.
3. change the value of the variable $startdate below
3. insert this script into your web page where you want the hitcounter to be.
*/

$startdate = ""; # fill this in with a date at which the hitcounter starts, in ANY format
#(ie. 3/15/02; March 15, 2002; or 3.15.2002)

if (empty($startdate)) { $startdate = "rollout"; }

$currenthits = @file_get_contents("hit.txt");
if($currenthits) {
$currenthits++;
echo $currenthits." hits since ".$startdate;
$fh = @fopen("./hit.txt", "w");
if ($fh) {
fwrite($fh, $currenthits);
fclose($fh);
}
}

?>
