PHP Hit counter.

[iHolyElement]

Below is a simple example of creating a visitor counter with PHP. This implementation is very small and simple but it gives you a basic structure to work off of.

Visitor Counter

Simply writes a counter to 'HitCounter', or to the filename of your choice.

class HitCounter {
  private $count;
 
  /**
   * Constructor.
   */
  public function __construct($filename = 'HitCounter') {
    $count = @file_get_contents($filename);
    $count = $count ? $count : 0;
    $fh = fopen($filename, 'w+');                
    fwrite($fh, ++$count);
    fclose($fh);
   
    $this->count = $count;   
  }
 
  /**
   * Get count.
   *    
   * @return int
   */
  public function get_count() {
    return $this->count;
  }            
 
  /**
   * Output count.
   */
  public function display_count() {
    echo 'Hits: ' . $this->get_count();
  }
}

Counter Usage

Output the counter directly to the page.

$counter = new HitCounter();
$counter->display_count();

Custom counter message.
$counter = new HitCounter();
$count = $counter->get_count();
echo 'The count is currently ' . $count;
