I don't need anything fancy. I need something that simply will keep a tally on how many times a link was clicked and wrote it to a file. Something like that is fine. I basically just want to see how many hits a couple links get.

hey,


this is something rough n ready, make it more robust as you need to

PHP Code:

<?php
/***** Link tracker*******
Track hits using ....out.php?out=http://yourtradepartner.com

************************/

if(isset($_GET['out'])){
        mysql_query("UPDATE tracker SET hitsout=hitsout+1, hitsout_today=hitsout_today+1 WHERE link='" . $_GET['out'] . "'");    
        header('Location: ' . $_GET['out']);
?>

build a table in your database called 'tracker' with fields 'id', 'hitsout', 'hitsout_today', 'link'

run a cron job with a seperate script each day that sets all 'hitsout_today'=0

make link the URL of your trade partners. To standardize and simplify the script, always use the form http://partner.com

So, to use....

http://www.yourwebsite.com/out.php?o...p://google.com

Hope that helps

like you said in your second post the benefits are that you are able to track how many clicks a link gets

if(isset($_GET['out'])){
        mysql_query("UPDATE tracker SET hitsout=hitsout+1, hitsout_today=hitsout_today+1 WHERE link='" . $_GET['out'] . "'");
