Re: Re[2]: [PHP] is there a way to track downloads

Well see I don't know where to begin all this. I have a plain html page, with links to the songs: ../music/song.mp3 And I woudn't know where to start, in creating a php track file, or a text file to keep track. I am able to have MySQL on the hosting server, which I am going to enable... and from there I am lost. Sorry for giving up, but it seems to hard for me, plus I only have about 2 weeks to learn PhP, if I wanted to implement this... I don't think that is possible.
