RE: [PHP] count link clicks

Really? That sounds more complicated than I think I need it to be, can't I use something like: '<a href="'.$PHP_SELF.'?add_form='.$value.'">' and somehow (this is what I need to know) get $value to increase in value as the user clicks on the link again and again... What I want to do in the final product is to display a text imput form onece and if the user clicks on the link the form (same) will be displayed again under the first one. - Vic -----Original Message----- From: Rasmus Lerdorf [mailto:rasmus@php.net] Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 2:49 PM To: victor@argilent.com Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] count link clicks Write a link wrapper that you would use like this: <a href="wrap.php/www.domain.com/path/file.html"> Then in wrap.php: <?php $link = substr($PATH_INFO,1); ... increment counter in database for $link ... header('Location: $link'); ?> -Rasmus On Tue, 13 Aug 2002 victor@argilent.com wrote: > How do I count how many times a user clicks on a certain link?
