Solution

You can easily create a visitor-counter (also called hitcounter or counter) in PHP in the following matter:

First you create a file called "visitors.txt", with content 0 (the figure, zero)

You chmod this file to 666 via your FTP application. (Connect to the FTP server and rightclick the file, choosing "File Attributes", and enter 666).

Afterwards, you can use the following code on your page to retrieve the amount of visitors:

<?php
     $teller = "visitors.txt";
     $aantalbezoekers = file_get_contents($teller);
     $aantalbezoekers++;
 
     $tellerbestand = fopen($teller, "w");
     fwrite($tellerbestand, $aantalbezoekers);
     fclose($tellerbestand);
 
     echo "Totaal aantal bezoekers: " . $aantalbezoekers;
?>


The code above will add 1 to the amount of visitors in "visitors.txt", and display this number on the website.
