HTML - View Counter For Web Page?

Hi, i'm completely new with HTML. I'm making a website for a student activity group i'm in. We chose for me, because i had a little javascript experience. Thats more than most of us.

Here goes the story. We are organizing a trip for other students. The students can enroll for the trip on the website. The form uses the following code;

Code:

<?php
$myFile = "enrollments.php";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a+') or die("can't open file");
$stringData ="<tr><td>".$_POST["name"]."</td><td>".$_POST["tel"]."</td><td>".$_POST["mail"]."</td><td>".$_POST["rnumber"]."</td><td>".$_POST["shirt"]."</td><td>".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."</td><td>".date("d-m, G:i:s")."</td></tr>\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);
?>

Named post.php
The code results in a simple file with only <tr>info</tr><tr>info2</tr>. Another page uses the following code to show the enrollments


Code:

<table id='enrollments'><tr><th>Name</th><th>Tel</th><th>Mail</th><th>Reknumber</th><th>Shirt</th><th></th><th>IP</th><th>Time</th></tr>
<?php include('enrollments.php'); ?>
</table>

named showenroll.html


Right. So far so good. Now we'd like to show the students which are thinking about enrolling howmany other students already have enrolled. In other words, i'd like to count the number of rows in the "showenroll.html" and display that in the index.html.

Ive found trough google the var (document.getElementById('ID')). However, i'm not able to add this var to the index.html, and direct it to a element ID on another page. As most newbs would do, i've tried document.getElementById('./showenroll/enrollments')
I'm wondering if anyone could tell me how i can direct the document.getElementById to an element id that is not on the same page. And, if this is impossible, how i can make a counter of the enrollments

p.s. ive tried to search this forum on table row counter, but it didn't provide the right solution(s?) for me.

Hello,

I'm trying to create a counter on HTML that actually counts and say Page 1 of 30. Can you please tell me the code to put it on.

Thanks

I would like to show that my message board has a new post on my main page. Or maybe just the number of views of my message board shown on my main page. The message board I use is guestbook.cgi

Thanks

Rick

Hey guys, I found a counter on the web, and tried to reconfigure it to what i need. the weirdest thing has happened, and I don't understand it. maybe someone can tell me logically what it means...so heres the code:

Let me also explain what i am trying to do. as a user, I want make it start a counter when I go to domain.com/index.php. if i go to another website (within the same domain), the ip addresss is stored. I want to make it so that this counter will not increase when the same ip address goes back to index.php

<?php
if (file_exists ('count_file.txt') && ($ipone != $iptwo) /*So here, I wanted to set the following: the if statement is TRUE if the two conditions are met: count_file.txt exists, AND $ipone DOES NOT EQUALS $iptwo==== now heres what baffled me. This IF statement is executed when $ipone actually EQUALs $iptwo.. I made the opposite change where instead of != it becomes ==, and this IF statement wasn't executed.*/)
{
$iptwo = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo $iptwo; /*Just here so that I can debug my problem*/
echo $ipone; /*This was just here so I can debug my problem*/
$fil = fopen('count_file.txt', r);
$dat = fread($fil, filesize('count_file.txt'));
echo $dat+1;
fclose($fil);
$fil = fopen('count_file.txt', w);
fwrite($fil, $dat+1);
}
else if (file_exists ('count_file.txt') == NULL)
{
$fil = fopen('count_file.txt', w);
fwrite($fil, 1);
echo 'else if'; /*This was just here so I can debug my problem*/
fclose($fil);
}
else
{
/*Here I don't have to do anything.. didn't know if "break;" would work, so instead i just left this as is.*/
$fil = fopen('count_file.txt', r);
echo ('else');
fclose($fil);
}
?>

Hi;
How do you put in a letter counter on a web page. I make custom embroidery patches. As the person types in the text for the patch, I need to be able to count the number of key strokes and from that count be able to direct to the right page. How can this be done. I can do alittle coding but not very good at it yet.
If there is someone out there that can help, I will be happy with any help I can get. Thanks.

I've made a hit counter for my website and need a bit of help in HTML to get it to work. There are 3 files:

One SWF file
One PHP file
and One TXT file

All three of these files are in a web folder. What I want to do is get it to work on Blogger. I've successfully embedded the SWF file into it which shows the hit counter but need the TXT file and PHP file to load along with the SWF (and to change the TXT file in the web folder). Is this possible to do with some HTML code?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Just ask if you need a bit more information.

EDIT: The problem has been solved, for anyone who has the same problem the solution is easily solved by using the <iframe> </iframe> tag. Just add a src, width or whatever else you need in it.

ok, first, how do i make a counter? then also, if ive got something like:

<a href="bla.html">bla</a> <!--counter here--!>

how do i make the counter go to how many times people clicked on that link?

I've had a simple php counter on a web page for years. Now I change the webpage and put the counter html on it just like before and this time it doesn't work!

Could this be something to do with the new page being xhtml instead of html? Or because this time there's already a 'javascript' section whereas before there wasn't?
Or what?

The page is at http://greenpepper.org if anyone would care to look.

the html line is right at the bottom of the page, just before </body> and the line itself is:

<script language="Javascript" src="counter.php"><!--//--></script>

The php counter code is very simple, too, it is:
<?
$filename = "count.txt";
$fp=fopen("$filename","r");
$count=fread($fp, filesize("$filename"));
fclose($fp);
$count++;
$fp=fopen("$filename","w+");
fwrite($fp,$count);
fclose($fp);

// Use this line below if you like to use this counter to count hits in a PHP file.
//echo "This page has been visited $count times.";

// Use this line if you like to use this counter to count hits in a HTML file. You also need to add a code in your HTML file. See the guide for details.
echo "document.write('$count');";
?>

The text file is still there in the directory, I checked everything by running the old file again and it runs the counter okay.

Hi all

My Site is hosted on linux site and i have basic cgi scripts for page counters, but does anyone know how i can create a download counter for files which can be made visible to users. I want the content to be updates live on the site ( basic count per click )

http://www.pellapushers.co.uk/mashups.html

Is this possible with html code or should i be looking at cgi

The instructions say to insert two chunks of code into your page.

''You just need to insert two chunks of code into your page. Place this within your HEAD section...'' (where is the head section in the INDEX.html file??, is that on the top)

Here is what the code looks like.

First ''chunk''

<!-- Start MegaCounter HEAD tag code -->
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript"><!--
/***********************************************************\
MegaCounter v1.1
A "configurable" hit counter for the rest of us...
by Joe Barta http://www.pagetutor.com/megacounter/
\***********************************************************/
text_string = "visitors since 9/5/98";
txt_color = "#000000" // Text string color
counter = 587113; // Counter starts at this,
revision = 1; // Every time you alter your initial counter value (above), you must also change the revision number.
page_code = 1; // Unless you want every page to use the same counter, you'll need to use a different page code for each page.
hitsperday = 2000; // How many hits per day you want.
bg_color = "#222222" // Background color of counter
fg_color = "#66FF66" // Foreground color of counter
link_color = "#0000FF" // Color of link back (Powered by MegaCounter)
back_color = "#FFFFFF" // Color of white space in counter area
//--></SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" SRC="http://www.pagetutor.com/megacounter/megacounter.js"></SCRIPT>
<!-- End MegaCounter HEAD tag code -->

And here is the other ''chunk''

<!-- Start MegaCounter BODY tag code -->
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript"><!--
document.write("<TABLE CELLSPACING=\"0\" CELLPADDING=\"0\" BORDER=\"0\" BGCOLOR=\"" + back_color + "\"><TR>");
document.write("<TD BGCOLOR=\"" + bg_color + "\"><FONT FACE=\"andale mono,arial\"");
document.write("COLOR=\"" + fg_color + "\"><B>&nbsp;" + counter + "</B></FONT></TD>");
document.write("<TD><FONT SIZE=\"2\" COLOR=\"" + txt_color + "\" FACE=\"arial,helvetica\">&nbsp;" + text_string + "</FONT></TD>");
document.write("</TR></TABLE>");
//--></SCRIPT>
<!-- Start MegaCounter BODY tag code -->

I pasted this in the index.html file, but then no counter showed up on my website. I must be doing somsthing wrong, please advise. Thank you.

Its a script site, has an admin login area, no ***tion to add a counter. However, there are some free counters out there that have the code to copy and paste, but where do I input the code, can I paste it in the style css file? Thanks for your help

I need to create a web counter that doesn't track hits, but increases by 1 every 8 seconds. I have some experience with HTML, but no experience with Java. I'm not sure how to create this. Does anybody else?

Hi guys,

I am new to the web design scene and I am attempting to build a simple website. The website will consist of a few pages however for the matter at hand lets pretend there are just 2: index.html & download.html

I want to put a counter on index.html that will count how many times people visit download.html... it will be apart of the following sentence:

Code:

This file has been downloaded by x people

x of course is the integer that needs to change.

Really my question is: How do I do this? And can someone show me with a tutorial etc?

Thanks!

basically, im trying the find the specific URL web address for the webcounter on my myspace page so i can enter it into a script and artificially boost it. only problem is, i can't seem to do it.

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...ndid=112544176

thats the address to my page and the counter is currently on 526. i have already found the web address for my plays which can be found on the following page...

http://mediaservices.myspace.com/ser...hx?b=112544176

its the addresses at the bottom that start 'url=http://media.myspace....'

i understand that all myspace pages load themselves from a database but is there any way to find out what address it loads for the VIEWS counter? maybe there is a program that anyone knows about that can track EVERY url address a page requests when opening.

please help!

I need to know the html code to preset a bin counter to start at a certain number, say 5100. My page was shut down and now I want to move it to another site and start the counter at it's previous setting. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
