FTW Web Designs Free Hit Counter (PHP)

This is our free PHP hit counter created by our in-house PHP specialist.

Here is the code & some basic info on how it works.

You also need a "hits.txt" file with a 0 in it to start with, or whatever number you wish your hits to start on.
Place the hits.txt and counter.php in the same directory.

Heres an example;
"Hits : 58"

Then in your home page or any pages you wish to include the counter on place the following code where you want the counter to be;

<?php include('counter.php'); ?>

Code for counter.php

 <?php

// Now 1st we need to get the number from the hits.txt
$currentHits = file_get_contents('hits.txt');
//Now we add 1 to the current number of hits.
$currentHits = $currentHits + 1;
//We open the file for writing only "w" mode.
$writeToHits = fopen("hits.txt", "w");
//We write to the file the new hits number
fwrite($writeToHits, $currentHits);
//Close the file.
fclose($writeToHits);
//And finally echo the current hits
echo "Hits : " . $currentHits;
?>
