i would like to create a table which would record the number of times a webpage has been accessed like a counter. every time a php page of the website has been accessed ex: aboutus.php contactus.php etc i will update that particular column in the table to increment the value of the counter by 1. my question is when i create the table can i create the last column in a way that would add all the numeric values of the remaining field names. This would avoid me to run an sql query from a php file to view this information. Ex: Create table tablename(aboutus int(11), contactus int(11), totalvisits int(11)); please advice if this can be done.
