Hmmm…i wanna make a flash hit counter…problem is how to do it. I guess PHP is best, but I could use CGI or XML. Anyone willing to help, your time is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Why go to all that trouble?

Just use a .txt file … There used to be a tutorial on [www.were-here.com](http://www.were-here.com) but that site seems to have died ☹

use a dynamic text feild and use a “Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text”  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic\_scroller.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm)  
then find a HTML hit counter and it should work

here’s a script playamarz helped me with 🙂  
load the php file with loadVars or loadVariables  
the number of page views is stored in the variable myCounter

```php
<?php
$handle = fopen("counter.txt", "r");
$contents = fgets($handle, 4096);
$temp = sprintf("%d", $contents);
$temp++;
fclose($handle);
$handle = fopen("counter.txt", "w");
fputs($handle, "$temp");
fclose($handle);
echo ('myCounter=', $temp);
?>

```

Hey sintax!  
I use for my PHP stuff:

```auto

loadVariablesNum("count.php", 0, "GET");

```

That’s what I use to grab the text for my footer. Then I use “POST” for when someone puts something in that’s new. I don’t know if that’s really correct because I’m just learning PHP, but it works!!

mrloo - check out what Jubba talks about a few posts down on this thread. He says exactly how to do it and offers an example shown in HTML. If that doesn’t help you, I’ll throw something together for you.
