I know how i can make a counter but i do not know how to do all the things that bravenet did such as the weekly view the last 50 viewers etc.
Thanks for your help

hmmm. so when it shows that i get around 1500 visitors a day it is really showing how my site is a flop. I highly doubt it!

It's quite a funny chart really.
Lowest on Sunday, highest on Thursday, dropping a few hundred overall on Fridays then dropping to 2nd lowest on Saturdays!
It's like a hill.

i would like it more as well if it were just stats as a counter does make a site look more amateurish!

mine are the best on friday!

Not really.
Gives you stats on where people come from, page views, how many people visited etc...
And it hasn't really flopped. I get a decent amount of people everyday and it's quite interesting to look at the stats. Like at the weekends the hits are the lowest and they gradually build up to their highest on Thursday when they drop down on Friday.

To make a counter like they did would take a LOT of work.
You can make a basic counter using something like this:
_______________________________________
Make a blank file called count.txt and CHMOD it 777, put just a 0 in it.
Create a file called count.php
This bit goes in the file called count.php (the name isnt really that important)
//
//
//Lets open the count file as read only ®
$fp = fopen("count.txt","r");
// The next line reads the contents of the count file into a string,
// in other words sets the contents of count.txt as $count,
// so we can manipulate it
$count = fread ($fp, filesize ("count.txt"));
// We don't need more data from the file right now, so close it
fclose($fp);
// Now we need to increment the number in the file, using the ++ or +1
$count++;
// Now we've incremented the count, lets write it to the file
// We need to open if for writing (w)
$fp = fopen("count.txt","w");
// Now write the actual data
fwrite($fp, $count);
// And close the file
fclose($fp);
// and this bit displays the count
print "You are visitor number $count";
?>
To show the counter you can either just paste that into your php file or use the include function
PHP Code

It's an incredibly basic one that just does page views but there are other scripts out there that will do what you want. (I didn't make it either so don't moan!) You may want to look at the ASP scripts on hotscripts.com though if you're going to that other host.
I've just found a freebie one while looking:
http://www.statcounter.com/
It looks fairly good...

If you want my advice don't use a counter. Only amateur websites use them and it basically show's how little your site gets visited as 99% of the time they flop.
