1. make an 1px * 1px transparent image
2. make a php page that delivers that image always depending on the exact url of it... and stores the result on the required record...
3. make a rotine that generates those url and that stores the reference in a database...
4. make a rotine that generates the next url based on a previous one...
5. track url expiration to detect if it is a new request or a repeated one...
Cheers...

A little trick could be to place couter.txt outside of the docroot. I placed couter.txt as c:\couter.txt and that works.Jochem Jill Ramonsky wrote:Yes, Jochem's right.
One thing though, Radovan. If your script WRITES TO the file "counter.txt"
then I assume that script's directory must give write permission to the
whole world. That is a very dangerous thing to do. There would be nothing to
stop a hacker from saving arbitrary binary (or PHP) code in that directory,
and hence doing ANYTHING to your server.
A more secure counter could be stored in a mysql database.

I tested that and the counter does not increase when i hit
the refresh button or press enter in the adressbar.
It only increases when i quit the explorer and reopen the same link afterwards. Which is ofcourse a new visit because the session is
distroyed when closing the browser.

Yes, but what if you refresh the page?
Or type in the address bar index.php and press enter, i think it will be
increased?
