Gif counters!

1

Hi, for over a week know i’ve tryed to figure out how to make a gif counter that i can use. i searched for tutorials and codes. but with no luck.

i tried to sign-up for free at http://www.okcounter.com
but it’s dead. and i want to use counters that he made. this is why i start to search for the code.

i know his code is this


< !--- Free Counter Code Begin --->
<p align="center">< img
src=http://okcounter.com/count.html?id=51035
border=0>< !--- Free Counter Code End --->

but each individual gets there own id code.

so the question is how does one do this? I would like to make my own.!

sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask at

thank you:A+:

It’s not the wrong thread, coz you need server side scripting (php, asp,…) to save the number of hits/counts either into a database or textfile.
The free service used a unique ID for each person signed up to increment individual counters; if you have a host with php, you could do that yourself with a simple textfile, or even more than one if you want to track different pages.

I don’t know how to do that with gifs, must be easy to, but attached you’ll find a full example if a click counter using Flash, PHP and simple text files (which you’ll need to chmod on your server to make them writable!)

Hope this helps…

If your a newbie then you shouldn’t tackle something like this. Get some scripting experience then look ahead.

its not too difficult… first you will have to learn how to count visitors to your website… a simple script that uses only a text file can be found in my first post here: http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24666&perpage=15&highlight=flash%20php&pagenumber=2

that will show you how to count visitors… then all you have to do is play around with the PHP image functions found here: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php?PHPSESSID=5183958f1753f58d8f379268c5f8eee0
