the example in this article describes how php uses text to count visits. share it with everyone for your reference, the details are as follows:
method 1:
$fp = fopen("counter.txt", "r+"); while(!flock($fp, lock_ex)) { // acquire an exclusive lock // waiting to lock the file } $counter = intval(fread($fp, filesize("counter.txt"))); $counter++; ftruncate($fp, 0); // truncate file fwrite($fp, $counter); // set your data fflush($fp); // flush output before releasing the lock flock($fp, lock_un); // release the lock fclose($fp);
method 2:
counter.php file:
<?php /* counter */ //opens countlog.txt to read the number of hits $datei = fopen("countlog.txt","r"); $count = fgets($datei,1000); fclose($datei); $count=$count + 1 ; echo "$count" ; echo " hits" ; echo "\n" ; // opens countlog.txt to change new hit number $datei = fopen("countlog.txt","w"); fwrite($datei, $count); fclose($datei); ?>
usage:
<?php include("counter.php"); ?>
