How I could count the number of downloads for each source I put in my site?
Learn Perl and JavaScript. With those two scripts working together, you can make any kind of counter.
Perl is the most-used CGI script, and JavaScript...You know what JavaScript is :wink:
javascript can't be used, but perl or php (or asp, or any cgi script for that matter). but it's hard to say if lycos supports cgi (and i doubt it).
Thanks all:
I see i must learn PHP! Lycos supports it (Nathan has a forum at Qbsux, I imagine it's php)
I just installed a local server and run my first hello.php...
Seems interesting :bounce:
Warning: wizardlife and I will flood this forum with questions!
My idea was
Code:
<a href="download.zip><?php add-to-counter script ?></a>
But I don't know. I'm new at php as well.

I meant Javascript AND Perl. Together.
Perl could be used alone. But if you know JavaScipt, why not?

I use
Code:
<a href="get.php?thefilenamewitoutdotzip></a>
I use that coundet, assuming that is the link, im just guessing..
edit: it works!
i would use the following, though I think this code could be wrong:
http://www.mysite.com/download.php?filen...lename.zip
Code:
<?php
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
while (!feof ($handle)) {
$buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);
}
fclose ($handle);
$buffer++;
$handle = fopen($filename, "a");
fwrite ($handle, $buffer);
fclose ($handle);
header("Location: http://yoursite.com/downloads/$filename");
?>
