Barry, Before leaping to the wrong conclusion, what exactly do you want to count? You can derive the number of times a page has been fetched from your web logs.
Alternately, you could add a table to your database, and at the top of the page the link points to, after you've established your database connection, etc.: $sql_count = "update page_count set views = views + 1 where page = '$PHP_SELF' "; mysql_query( $sql_count ); You'll have to add a record for each page to the database, and by now you know how to create tables etc. Justwatch out for reserved words and function names; when I first typed the query I used "count" in place of page_count. "Views" and "page" probably aren't such a hot choices either. Fetching the counts for the pages involves nothing more than issuing "select * from page_count" and you'll have a per page count of all the clicks to each page.
