RE: [PHP] count link clicks

You need to use a javascript (client side language) if you want to accomplish this without reloading the page. Something like thike this but you would need to do some more R&D at a javascript form or something cuz I know PHP a lot better than javascript ======================================================================================================================= The functions: <script language="Javascript"> var count; function addForm() {

    if(!count) { count=0; }
    writeForm(count);
    count++;

} function writeForm(num) {

    var link = '<a href="javascript:void(0);" onMouseDown="addForm('+num+');">'

} </script> You're link: <a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onMouseDown=\"addForm();\"> More stuff here...

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');

How do I count how many times a user clicks on a certain link? (and

put

it into and array or variable I guess). I want to be able to repeat a certain action on the same page as many times as the user clicks on the link($PHP_SELF).
