Determine how many times a link is clicked?

Hey guys, I'm new, just posted over at the introduce yourselves thing. Anyway I was wondering if anyone could help me. I'm trying to find a script or code or whatever for my site that determines the amount of times a link has been clicked? I've looked around the web and the forum for stuff on this but can't seem to find it, maybe I'm just not saying it the right way or something, any help would be great

Right, there are a few basic points to remember when asking a question like this. At the moment I can only thing of one, but I'm sure there are more.

1) State your system, supported languages (PHP, ASP) and database format (if applicable)

okay err sorry ummh website running on a Linux server. Use PHP for the pages on my site, use MySQL. Don't know much about all that system type stuff, but i think thats the basics

Just go to hotscripts.com , get some scripts and look how they're done.
That may help... It always helps

It wouldn't be too hard to creat a lil javascript function...where:



that variable should tell you the number of times that button is clicked because it adds one every time you click. Or it should I haven't tested it. I don't know what you want to do w/ that # but at least this should compile the # for you.

on the other han u can add a field to the database and add a function to ur file which increments the count of the field in the database whenever the link is clicked.U call that function whenever the link is clicked this will give u the total number of clicks on that link by retrieving the value from the database.....Bye
