RE: [PHP-WIN] Counter in PHP and System Variables

You can use the PHP variable $HTTP_USER_AGENT or you can use javascript's navigator.appName and navigator.appVersion. To create a hit counter, use a database table (named pages?) with a column called hits. Every time the page loads, do: mysql_query("update pages set hits=hits+1 where id='$id'"); $result = mysql_query("select hits from pages where id='$id'"); list($hits) = mysql_fetch_array($result); You could have the $id embedded in your page, or you could set up something more dynamic.

Is it possible that a hit counter can be created using php if so how can this be done? Lastly how can I show the what browser the client is using in their browser? Cheers Wayne
