A counter is an essential part of a site to know how many people are coming to site. Here is an easy way to make a counter. All you need is access to PHP and be able to chmod a directory. We’re going to save the amount of hits in a .dat file, so you don’t even need a mySQL database. First off, you have create a directory and CHMOD it 777 so PHP can write the counter.dat file.

For this hit counter we are going to use MySQL, PHP and PHP's awesome built in support for sessions. I want to stress the avoidance of cookies for something like this because you are going to be forcing this upon each user's browser and the world of Microsoft users are shifting towards Internet Explorer 6 which has created some great headaches for webmasters that like to use cookies. With PHP's sessions the cookie is stored on the web server and not the user's computer which is a benefit because now the webmaster has control, not the user's finicky web browser.
