The counter that I use counts everyone every time they look at the site. I want a better counter, can you all suggest one? It's got to work with html and php only. </snip> You would have to either set some kind of permanent cookie once the user visites your site, so on every request, check for the existence of that cookie, if it is not there, add 1 to your counter and set the permanent cookie, if the cookie is there, they have viited the site. Or you could require the people to sign up for an account to visit the site. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
