What code do you need to create your own counter?

Question

I've put a HideOut jukebox on my site for my band, ( http://www.fulturnjones.com/music/mp3player.html ) and I want to be able to see how many people are accessing it. It doesn't have to display on the jukebox itself.

Answer 1

you can use any programming code, but you'll need a database as well. The value needs to be stored in a persistant place and that is what a database is.

in the code of the page, you would add an increment variable and then add that to the database right away. Then you would create another query that would pull the value from the database to display the counter.

Try learning ASP from w3schools.com and learn SQL for database. Counters are not hard to create at all.

Answer 2

forget java, use php and track how many people click on it from either a text file, or a database.

Basically the same theory that google and other ad peeps use to track how many users click on ads displayed on web pages.

Answer 3

Search the net for java "hit counters". There are thousands out there for free.
