Dear friends.
I have a site where I have news headers. I wish to count the clicks on the
news headers so that I can see how many times each of the the news has been
viewed. This way I can show the most viewed news.
Can one of you please advise hwo this can be done?
Thanks
Denis
I think the best way to do this would be to set an onClick (Javascript)
event handler for each of the links, and then use AJAX style stuff to
send the information to PHP on the server side, then PHP can log the
link that was clicked, and keep track of the most clicked links.

Another way to do this is to take the user to a page that would
identify the clicked link (by ID, for example), store the visits data
to a database or a text file and then redirect to the corresponding
news. So, such link might look like this:
a href=http://www.news.com/redirect.php?news_id=150;read news/a
Hope this helps.
