How To Create a Hit Counter - Page Views (PHP)

In this tutorial we create a hit counter for our website, this hit counter can be used too ad total from your website or for individual page views, allowing you to track the popularity of particular pages within your website.
This hit counter will be a flat base PHP script, there will be no need for any Mysql databases. You have the option to follow along to the tutorial or you can download the file from the link above.
The PHP code should be placed into the body of your html, into the location where you want the hit counter to appear. Its also important you have a [hitcounter.txt] file located in each folder that has PHP files using the PHP script.

@SlightlyAmiss When you're right you're right..:)

@CINEMA35mediafilms Correct. But manually making a new text file for every page you need is a lot of work that is not needed. I was simply commenting to let viewers know what they're getting, because how it's described in the video is misleading.

In any case, I would advise someone to learn rudimentary MySQL and play around connecting and inserting info into a database. That's how I solved my concern when non of these YouTube tutorials could help.

@SlightlyAmiss You can easy modify the script and add a folder named counters. Just make more txt files named in a different way for different pages and put them all in that folder. Then all you have to do...it's to add the php code to where you want it to apear and just change the first line as example define("HITCOUNT", "counters/productshitcount.txt­"); instead of hitcount.txt. and there you go....you can have as many counters as you want.

Helpful step by steps, but this is *not* a per page counter. It is a per *directory* counter.

You cannot copy this code to each page in a directory and get unique counts. Please be more clear when describing what's happening in your videos.
