Hi, im looking for a hit counter (text) but I wan't to be able to exclude a specif IP. I want to be show how many hits my site gets, not including my own.

Get a normal flat file hit counter and just put in an if condition around your ip
something like..

PHP Code:

$ip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; 

if($ip == "your ip here");
{
exit;
}
else
{
Hit counter sctipt here
}
?> 


Yup, so just to deepen on that .. I will chuck the whole thing together for you quickly.

<?php
//Counter Quickly Bodged together by Sir P for Webmaster-Talk.com
$ip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; 

if($ip != "your ip here");
{
$file = fopen("counter.txt","r+"); 
$counter = fread($file, filesize("counter.txt"));
fclose($file);
$counter +=1;
$file = fopen("counter.txt","w+");
fputs($file, $counter);
fclose($file); 
	}
?>

To display the count on a page, just use something like ...

Hits: <? include("counter.txt"); ?>

Let me know how it works for you,
cheers,
Sir P

Do I just add that code to my site because i got this: http://www.tbldesign.net/hit.php? I probably need the counter.txt file.
Also can you include the code for the counter to start of at a number.
Thanx

Hi TBLTK...

Just paste my code onto any PHP page you have that you want to count visitors.. that second bit of code I gave you.. paste that on any page you want to show the counter.

So if you want to only count the people who come to you index page.. put my code on your index page only..

The counter.txt file.. just create a blank new text file.. call it counter.txt and put it in the same directory as your page you have the counter on... chmod it to 777 ...

If you want to start at a certain open, open up that counter.txt you should have just created.. and put any number in it, on the first line.. dont put anything else in there.. just a number.. and no decimal places

Let me know how it goes
P

Just two more question. If I put the code on index.php and page.php. Some one goes to my home page then to page.php, does that count as 2 hits?
Also how do I get it so the number come out as: 1,000/10,000/1,000,000...?
Thanx again

Yes, it will count as two hits,
and you can use number_format() to get the commas in the number. You'll need to read the line with the number out of the file, assuming there is only one line in the file:

PHP Code:

$lines = file("counter.txt");
echo(number_format($lines[0])); 


The hit counter worked

yay
