"Freeola Hit Counter"

Are you sure there hasn't been a problem with Freeola Servers? The hit counters on two of the sites I have designed both reset to 0 around the 29th May.

What, and adding hits for you??? lol.

Where is your txt file hosted??? One the http accesable area (htdocs) or at the root?? (not the htdocs), and what type of file is it??? .DAT .TXT, etc?

I like the idea of checking the number has only been increased by one :o) Very clever.

Hmmm. It couldnt last. At least this time it didnt reset to zero, but it went to (approx) 12,123,126 from about 12,000. Yes, I'd like to believe we'd had that number of hits, but I think once again its a case of more than one user updating the text file at the same time. Looks like I'm going to have to review that script again, so that it checks that the new number its replacing is no more than one up on the previous.

Or ... someone has found access to that directory.

Hey, Nimco, at least I feel a bit better to find that it wasnt just my hit counters that went back to zero. Btw, the code I put in to detect when the counter value is 1, and if so, not to update the file, is working (at the moment).

nope, sorry, talk to turbonutter, he'll probably know - he has his voyeur cam set up. ;)

Same here, well done.

Don't suppose you know anything about Video Clips on sites??? I would like to make some clips from TV/Video onto MPEG's with the best posible quality with minimum file size... you any good with that?

I have 6 web sites to make or update in the summer - i think i have my work cut out - i do get a 10 week summer hols tho :D

Good luck, with all that Sun we are expecting :o)))))) I'll be out to muc to do anything to my site(s). Well, to be honest I wouldn't call them sites anymore, more like pages. lol.

That's what I've done in my newer hit counter scripts. I just havent got round to updating this one yet - im going to in the summer tho... :D

Seems ok to me.

Mind you, if I were you I might consider not writing the HTML Code to the file, just the RAW data, just in case you wanna change the wayout. It would make easier work for you.

here's the code i use - sorrry for spamming - and i know the code could be a lot simpler, i adapted an old hit counter i had made using a tutorial off the net...
