HTML - I Have A Counter Question

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.

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/generic_cookie_1yr.js"></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.

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.

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

Regards, Alan

Ok, new to the boards here. I'd appreciate some help regarding a website i am building.

I have a question due to my lack of advanced html knowledge, but am a quick learner.

Does anyone know how to build a quality visitor counter? I know they have the free one's online, but i want something that integrates well into the site and looks like it belongs there.

I'm sure i'll have some more questions later.

Thank you!

Hi folks, I am totally new to HTML and I've managed to create a basic webpage with a table of contents since starting only yesterday.
I want to try and add a counter to the end of each content item based on how many records are displayed on the page. For instance:

Contents
Group A-B (10)
Group C-D (24)
Group E-F (0)

Can this be done in HTML or maybe incorporate some Javascript within HTML?
I've searched all over this forum for something similar but keep getting page hit counters or visitor counters.

Does anyone have specific code, a suggestion or a recommendation to tackle this?

Any replies are welcome.

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I am new here and i'm dutch so sorry for my bad language
I have a question and i hope u guys can help me with it.
I have searched for a script that can show the money we have from donations in a little counter on a website. It can be html or php, i searched for ages for this script and i can't find anywere!!

Thnx alot for the help!

Greetz,
Marlboro / Bouwe

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!
