This is a very basic text file based hit counter script created in php. It uses a text file named “counter.txt” to store the counter value. Everytime the script is loaded the counter is incremented by 1 and is displayed on the webpage and stored in the file. The script is pretty basic and can be easily changed to more complex hit counter script.

<?php
$counter = 0;

$filename = "counter.txt";
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
$counter = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);

$counter = $counter + 1;

if (is_writable($filename))
{
        if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w'))
        {
                echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
                exit;
        }
        if (fwrite($handle, $counter) === FALSE)
        {
                echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
                exit;
        }
        fclose($handle);
}
else
{
        echo "The file $filename is not writable";
}

echo "Total Visits: " . $counter;
?>
