What have you tried so far? I assume you know how to create the actual image, or will learn later.
For your code, just try to start a session and set a variable within it. Each time this script is run, that means a page is being requested. So after you start your session, check and see if that variable is registered within it. If it is, that means the user has already been browsing this page and you shouldn't increase the count. If the variable isn't set, then the session is new, and it's a new visitor. Keep in mind that once the user closes the browser, and then comes back to your site in a new window, then the session will not exist and they will be considered a "new" user. Have you tried anything so far? ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Smetak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "1LT John W.
