Total Posts: 1892 | Well, you don't need the cgi-bin for PHP.
But as for a counter itself, what you would basically do is create a database with the field: clicks, ID, page.
So when you visit a page (that is .cgi or .php), it will activate a script that pulls the correct ID for that page from the database, increment that click count, and then insert the new total into the database. But that is an over simplified description. :-\
For the actual ID of the page, you could use an enviroment var to take the URL that the script is from, and search for that in the dbase, and take off from there. And of course, have it make sure the page was access before, and add a new field if it was not.

Also, instead of testing to see if page Id is there already, create them all in advance and just pull the name from $PHP_SELF (if using php) or perl equivalent and dump it into the ID field. |
