[Tutorial] How to make php visitor couter

This tutriol is very easy to understand and Its very easy to make a php visitor counter with using few funtions

First all create 3 files

hitx.zix
today.zix
lastday.zix

Note : here we are using .zix for no resone.

Ok, create count.php and put this code into this file

____________________________________

<?php

$ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$date = date('d');
$time = time();
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])) {
    $ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
} elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) {
    $ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
} else {
    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
//setting date
$today = file_get_contents("today.zix");

if(!$date==$today)

{ file_put_contents("today.zix",$date);

$old = file_get_contents("hitx.zix");
file_put_contents("lastday.zix",$old);

}

// time to mix all above var  s and put into a file

$file = "hitx.zix";

$exp ="-zix-";
$expl ="|";
$data = $ref.$exp.$ip.$expl;
$oldx = file_get_contents("hitx.zix");
$mixed = $oldx.$data;
file_put_contents($file,$mixed); ?>

____________________________________

Now the data what we want, will be saved into that 3 files

Now we need to get that data in simple formet.

So create file display.php and put this code into this (today's data)

____________________________________

<?php

//making parts of the data we saved

$counted = file_get_contents("hitx.zix");

$go = explode("|",$counted);

//counting total hits

$total = count($go);

echo "Total $total hits you got";

//displaying reffer,time and user's ip
for ($x = 0; $x <= 10000; $x++) {
if(!empty($go[$x]))
{
$gox = explode("-zix-",$go[$x]);

$total = count($gox);

echo $gox[0];
echo "<br/>";
echo $gox[1];
echo "<br/>";
echo $gox[2];
echo "<br/>";
echo $gox[3];
echo "<br/>";
echo "<hr/>";
}
} ?>
____________________________________

So this is last step, create a file display_lastday.php and put this code into this file
____________________________________

<?php

//making parts of the data we saved

$counted = file_get_contents("lastday.zix");

$go = explode("|",$counted);

//counting total hits

$total = count($go);

echo "Total $total hits you got";

//displaying reffer,time and user's ip
for ($x = 0; $x <= 10000; $x++) {
if(!empty($go[$x]))
{
$gox = explode("-zix-",$go[$x]);

$total = count($gox);

echo $gox[0];
echo "<br/>";
echo $gox[1];
echo "<br/>";
echo $gox[2];
echo "<br/>";
echo $gox[3];
echo "<br/>";
echo "<hr/>";
}
} ?>

Done. You made a good hit counter. Please note that lots of hits counters are avialeble and this is one good counter which is coded by me
