Free PHP Counter Script (english version)

Textfile Counter: Free Download Other versions: German Version Mysql Version

As there was no good textfile-based counter, i developed one myself. I decided to give it for free to other people. This here is the english version of my counter. On my site, you will see the german version under my navigation, so do not wonder.

The Counter Script is based on an text file and needs no database. The script includes an IP blocker and blocks of lot of bots, to get sure that only real visitors will be counted. You will see daily, weekly, montly, yearly and all visitors inside the counter. In addition you can see how many visitors are online at the moment and an online record (date with number of visitors at this date). You will find an demo of the german counter on my site.

Your server needs to support PHP when you like to use that counter.

For installation, you need to copy the files counter.txt, counter.php and counter.gif in your web folder. Do not forget the file rights (chmod) (counter.php -> 755 , counter.txt -> 777) for counter.txt and counter.php when needed. Now you can include the counter on each place of your choice:

<? include "counter.php"; ?>

When you are working with several folders on your website, you have to set the counter.txt path inside the conter.php on the top.
