Wassup guys, here is some php code I made for my website to count the amount of unique page views.I tried my best to explain each line of code with a comment above.
Create a new file "count.php" and add the following code:
Now, whatever page you want to record the amount of visitors on, add the following code (preferably to the head):
(So if someone views a page with this code in it, their IP will be logged)
Now to print your unique page counter, use the following code (make sure the line of code above is included somewhere in the page):
I hope you guys enjoy this, if you have any questions comment below and I will try to help you Smile
Create a new file "count.php" and add the following code:
PHP:
<?php
/* get the IP address of the user */
$getra = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
/* Encrypt the IP address with sha1 in brackets; also get it ready for the next line with \n */
$printip = "<" . sha1($getra) . ">\n";
/* get the file name where we are printing our encrypted IPs */
$getfile = "ipfile.txt";
/* Open that file with read/write access; If it doesn't exist it will create it. */
$ipfile = fopen($getfile, "a+") or die("Unable to open file!");
/* count the amount of lines in the ipfile.txt(AKA: counting how many IP's are on the list) */
$countipfile = count(file($getfile));
/* read the file we opened */
$ipget = fread($ipfile, filesize($getfile));
/* if it contains the ip address already, do nothing.
If it doesn't have the IP address on file, write it & +1. */
if(strpos($ipget, $printip) !== false){
}else{
fwrite($ipfile, $printip);
/* since the new visitor wont see his view on the counter until he refreshes his browser; */
$countipfile++; /* We account for his IP that wasn't initially counted in the list by adding 1 (because it wasn't there) */
/* Once he refreshes, his IP is already on the list and counted. */
}
/* write the amount of unique visits. */
$theCount = "Unique Website Views: ". $countipfile . "";
?>(So if someone views a page with this code in it, their IP will be logged)
Code:
<?php include count.php; ?>
PHP:
<?php echo $theCount; ?>
