Php Download Counter

Post by **Marko** » Tue Dec 28, 2004 4:00 am

hey i was wondering if anyone knows a simple php code to display the number of times a file has been downloaded.
I have searched on google but i keep getting info on site stats, so can anyone help?

Thanks

I\'d be tempted to write one myself - are you using a database you store the download files? I\'d also suggest checking the php section on [url=\"http://www.hotscripts.com\"]HotScripts[/url] if you wanted to download one.

[color=\"green\"]i was playing with the idea of writing one for you..but it seemed a little complicated in my head..and i couldnt get it onto dreamweaver for some reason..just wasnt working for me <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

Hotscripts is a good place to start <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... igwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' /> [/color]

yeh i\'ll try hotscripts, basiclt what i\'m looking for is something that counts how many times a link has been clicked.
and vercz you dont need to write one for me, unless you plan on writing one for yourself, otherwise its not worth it.

nope no databse, i just have my downloads locaated in folders and such. I\'m no good with php, actully i dont know any so yeh.

I'll write one as a tutorial for my site once I get the backend finished. Have been working on it all day, gonna work on it tomorrow too. May not have the tutorial done for a week or so though, if you can wait that long. Are you looking to use flat file (.txt) or a db (mysql)?
