hit counter code

can someone out there give me an efficient hitcounter code??
my code didnt wok properly. when i keep reload the page, the number will increase. i want the user only hit the page and counted as one hit until the time is expire (let say 45 minutes).

PHP Code:


			
<?php

if (!isset ($_SESSION['count'])):

session_cache_expire(45);

$cCount=file_get_contents("/apih/db/counter.txt");

$cCount++;

$cPath=realpath("/apih/db/counter.txt");

$cHandle=fopen($cPath,"w");

fwrite($cHandle,$cCount);

fclose($cHandle);

$_SESSION['count']=$cCount;

endif;

?>

ok, the problem with your code is you store all hit counts into a single file. you need to somehow seperate each session's (meaning each visitor's) hit count.

you can do that by storing the session id as well. here's a quick code i thought up, it might not work at all, just to give you an idea:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

if (!isset ($_SESSION['count'])):

session_cache_expire(45);

$counterFile = file("/apih/db/counter.txt");

foreach ($counterFile as $cLine) {

    $cArr = explode(":", $cLine);

    $cSessid = $cArr[0];

    $cCount = $cArr[1];

    if ($cSessid == session_id()) {

        break;

    }

}

$cCount++;

$cPath=realpath("/apih/db/counter.txt");

$cHandle=fopen($cPath,"w");

fwrite($cHandle,$cCount);

fclose($cHandle);

$_SESSION['count']=$cCount;

endif;

?>

hope that helps.

You might want to go to http://www.hotscripts.com to see the hit counters there in PHP...just to give you a general idea of how some of them work

it's okay now. i had store the session id in cookie. also, my host enable the trans-id, which mean the session id can be transfer through url. with that, i can count unique visitors.

anyway, thx for the link, i will chek it out
