Dear friends. I have a site where I have news headers. I wish to count the clicks on the news headers so that I can see how many times each of the the news has been viewed. This way I can show the "most viewed" news. Can one of you please advise hwo this can be done? add to each news item like &clicked=1 and in the page where you display the news item, checked if clicked exists, if does write it to a file or a db (obviously with the news item id), if your using mysql, the heap table type is quite useful, you will however need to move the info to a more permanent table every x amount of clicks.
