How do I make a counter that counts up? - DevHunters.com l Webmaster Forum - Web Advertising - Web Design

It just has to count up, from 0, in seconds. That's all.

Hunter1 · 02-03-2008, 05:32 PM

What will you be counting? What kind of site are you putting it in, PHP? HTML?

I think he might want something that is like a stop watch maybe?

I think their are down loadable java scripts for things like this. My guess is that Google is your best friend in this situation.

Code:

<script>
x = 0;
function count()
{
	Object = document.getElementById('COUNT');
	Object.innerHTML = "<a onClick=\"count()\" id=\"COUNT\">" + x + "</a>";
	x = x + 1;
	setTimeout("count()",1000);
}
</script>

<a onClick="count()" id="COUNT">Click to begin Counter.</a>

Not valid of JavaScript is turned off. You should really look into php for counting visitors.

PHP then - Unlike the JS one, this is not my script, can't remember where I got it from:

PHP Code:


			
<?php
$ file = "counter.txt";
if (file_exists($ file)) {
  $ fp = fopen("$ file", "r+");
  flock($ fp, 1);
  $ count = fgets($ fp, 4096);
  $ count += 1; 
  fseek($ fp,0);
  fputs($ fp, $ count);
  flock($ fp, 3);
  fclose($ fp);
  echo"$ count";
} else {
  echo "Cannot open file - '$ file'<BR>";
}
?>

Just make an empty text fill named counter.txt and remove the spaces between the $ and the word. ;)

Smiggy · 02-16-2008, 07:28 AM

Why wont it show you the $ thingys when you put them together??

SpOrTsDuDe.Reese · 02-16-2008, 12:26 PM

What are you talking about.

Smiggy · 02-16-2008, 04:49 PM

If you look at the PHP counter coding I did, I had to make a space in between the $ and the word otherwise it would disapear...Why???

Thanks For the script!

echo"$ count";

If you mean that, you can get rid of the space between it. If you don't mean that, specify which line you are talking about so I can parse it correctly :D. It shouldn't be a variable if you have a space.

EDIT: Looking at the code, the variable was defined this way

$ count

So if you want to call it, you must put a space. Hope that helped.
