[PHP] Counter has gremlins
I have this basic counter:
?php
$counterFile = ./counter.txt;
function displayCounter($counterFile) {
global $counted;
$fp = fopen($counterFile, 'rw');
$num= fgets($fp,7);
if (!$counted) {
$num+= 1;
unlink($counterFile);
exec(echo $num $counterFile);
}
print Visitor #$num;
}
if (!file_exists($counterFile)) {
exec(echo 1 $counterFile);
}
displayCounter($counterFile);
?
Works like a charm but every so often for no apparent reason it resets
to 0.
Anyone see anything wrong here to cause that?

Re: [PHP] Counter has gremlins
You could be having problems with multiple users, if two visitors come
at the same time file locking problems come into play, one script could
unlink the file at the same time another script tries to open it
resulting in an empty file.
A database would be a better way to do this, but assuming you want to
stick with a text based counter instead of using rw and incrementing the
count you might consider opening the file in append mode and writing a
character to the file, then when you want to find out how many people
have visited count the lines in the file.
Using file based operations where you may have more than one user
operating on one file at the same time can get tricky so like I said
consider a database.

Re: [PHP] Counter has gremlins
I believe this is a concurrency problem...
2 PHP scripts can run at the same time and the problem is that your first
script gets as far as the unlink thus deleting the file. Then the 2nd script
is ran (at the same time) and trys to open the file which doesn't exist,
therefore it reads a num of 0. Then control returns to script 1 which saves
the number num (which is a valid count), and finish... Script 2 continues
and saves the num 0, and therefore your counter gets reset.
Its all a problem of concurrency and the fact that more than one thing can
happen at a time.
There are a few solutions.
1) Use MySQL or another database which limits reading/writing to the data so
that problems like this do not occur.
2) Use a flocking method which locks the file between the reading and
writing so that no other script can interfeare... I'm unsure on how good
this method is with PHP, so I suggest the first.

[PHP] counter freezes whole site!
Hi, I am having a serious problem on my site. It was working fine until a
day ago, when it simply freezes. After i made a few checks i realized it
loops on this code. I tried everything but i cant understand why and i am
going crazy trying to figure it out!
This code is supposed to write a 24h cookie at first visit, and then
checks for it at every refresh, if the cookie doesnt exist, it increases a
counter on the DB. Simple, right? Then why did it stop working out of the
blue? It loops on the refresh, keeps thinking the cookie is not active, so
it keeps adding +1 to the counter. What am i doing wrong? How can i fix it?
oh, this code is right at the top of my main page.
Thanks!
?
if ($pvisita == '1') {
break;
} else {
include ('databaseinfo.txt');
$ligacao=mysql_connect($h, $u, $p) or die(Erro ao aceder a MySQL);
@mysql_select_db($DBname) or die(Unable to select database . $DBname);
$resultado = mysql_query (select * from counttable where id='0');
if ($resultado) {
$registo = mysql_fetch_array($resultado);
$id = $registo[ID];
$contador = $registo[contador];
$contador = $contador + 1;
$resultado2 = mysql_query (update counttable set contador='$contador'
where id='0');
setcookie(pvisita, 1, time() + 86400);
header(Location: $PHP_SELF);
}else{
print (não há registos);
break;
}

Also, for the rest of that, it'd be easier to just issue one query such
as:

RE: [PHP] counter for HIGH traffic site
Make sure you are locking the file if you do this, With a high amount of traffic text based counters don't usually work too well because you have to deal with contention, what if two users view a page at the same time, you will run into a corrupt or inaccurate number. If you do file locking do you display an error asking them to refresh or do you handle it some other way? This becomes apparent especially with higher traffic sites like he was talking about. You may well be best off using a database, either that or invest some serious thought into how you are going to handle multiple clients loading pages.

RE: [PHP] counter for HIGH traffic site
You definitely want to use MySQL for this. Ignore all those people who recommended text file DBs. They are /SLOW/. MySQL is very very fast. To show you a small sample of how fast, here's the debug data from one of my scripts, showing how long the page took to generate, and how many queries were run. The queries consist of the same kind you would be using. Debug Data This page was generated in 0.030305027961731 seconds. 9 queries executed.

What is wrong with simply using the log files. Seems to me this is a lot of excess overhead for very little data. A low end log analyzer will provide this same info and much more.

RE: [PHP] Counter
It's very simple - at the top of every page, have a routine that opens a
text file, reads the number inside it into a variable, adds one, and writes
it back out again. If the text file doesn't exist, create it.
Psuedocode:
if (file exists) {
open file for reading;
read contents into $counter;
increase $counter by 1;
} else {
set $counter to 1;
open file for writing;
}
write $counter to file;
close file;
print you are visitor number $counter.;
Look into fopen(), fread(), fwrite() and friends. Of course, it's now up to
you to work out how you're going to count cached requests, search engine
bots, link checkers, etc etc. Personally I reckon you're better off with
this:
?php
mt_srand((double)microtime()*100);
$counter = mt_rand(1, 9);
echo You are visitor number $counter.;
?

Here is some 5 minute untested code to get you started
where int count is in table counter.

$dblink = mysql_pconnect(localhost,username,password);
mysql_select_db(DB);

$query = Select count from counter;

}
$count = mysql_result($dbq,0)
echo This page has been visited $count times!;

of course ;) try this method: link to the counter with an IMG from your page IMG SRC=counter.php?name=pagename have counter.php increment a log file and output an image showing the current number of hits that pagename has gotten, so that the IMG SRC will be digits.

Re: [PHP] counter reseting help!
How are you saving the current counter amount? For instance if it's in a database, add a date field. Check to see if the date is more than 24 hours old before displaying the current counter. If it is then update the database and make the counter number 0. If it's not older than 24 hours, just do your counter as normal. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.

Actually, I couldn't find the article number for that tutorial. I did,
however, place a comment directly into that specific web page with the fix.
Here is a direct link to the tutorial (I left the frames out):

RE: [PHP] Counter Help
Yup, you need to have your key strings in quotes '',
so it doesn't think it's a constant.
ALWAYS use $array['key']
and not
$array[key]
except for the integrers

RE: [PHP] Counter Help
Yeah, this is very silly thing using arrays without quotes,
I once had this problem - learned it - and sticked to using quotes whenever
is not an integrer.

I have noticed a lot of people do not put quotes on their array indexes
(e.g. VBulletin is a prime offender) - imho this is a really bad practice
because your code becomes ambiguous.
Example:
?php
define("foo", "donkey");
$test = array("foo"="orange", "bar"="purple");
echo $test[foo];
?
Now, I think that should print nothing (or an error), because there is no
index matching "donkey" (the value of the constant "foo"). But for some
reason PHP looks for an array index matching the string "foo" as well,
encouraging this kind of sloppy programming.

Thanks for the great suggestion Simon, I'll definatley keep that in mind.
I'm new to PHP, and the counter thing was "copied" off of Weberdev.com. They
forgot to add the single quotes around counter. At least this experience
helped me learn something new. Again, I thank you for your help and for
Chris' help.
