You will need to use CGI, Perl, PHP, ASP, or mySQL when creating a counter.
ok so im gonna have to wait a little while… i guess once i get xxviii.net ill do it… u guys dont mind if i bring this up again in like 2 months do you? but hopefully by then ill me slightly more knowledgeable… this weekend im gonna go out and buy an actionscript book and maybe a cgi book? do they make cgi books? if they do, do you have a recomendation… or what was that code that playa wrote… like what language? cuz i really need to learn this stuff
both of you guys rule by the way
cgi sucks now… Just use php…
lol… It’s alot easier to use and you can pretty much perform the same amount of **** with less code!
Alls you’d need would be a text file counter.txt for instance… And then in your php file… Everytime someone comes in… Just increment the count.txt file in a hidden manner…
Then… In your flash mx file load up that variable… using loadVariables… And then BAM!.. Plop that ho in your new function and put the little ***** in a text handler…
do free hosting server-y places support php? mine doesnt support cgi so idk what it will do with php… and do u have a recommendation on a php book so i can get all smart like?
I use Read Less, Learn More PHP… It’s a really good small time book that’ll teach you the basics really quickly… Plus some…
If you really need someplace to throw up a textfile and a php script… I can throw up one on my server…
well i dont know how to code php or do the text file thing at all… so i wont waste the space on your site… im gonna start drawin up some plans for my site at school tomorrow and stuff… and since the counter isnt necessary until i have my site up (even tho it wont be necessary then either) ill just have my own space… so its not biggie… thanks a lot for the offer tho… im amazed with how patient and helpful you guys are
Ahh Don’t be amazed…
Me and lost are losers :crazy:
Well… more like crazy… lmao
Just… keep us informed… Do you have AIM, MSN, or Yahoo?
i have aim and msn… do u want my sn’s?

**I use Read Less, Learn More PHP… **
Is that the book? If it is then its freakin awesome… Thats the one I have. Its great for the basics. For the more advanced stuff check out the WROX php books… good stuff…
that books looks pretty cool… i think ill get it
I haven’t the money for a book right now, but PHP doesn’t seem that hard (basic PHP for now), it is definitely MUCH easier than CGI and more efficient. Goodbye CGI!!!
Yeah lost… That’s the book I have…
I also have the ASP version of that book as well… They are handy little guides… And they only teach you… Instead of drilling you on ****…
Cool. I will look into that. It is recommended by 2 great scripters so it must be good
