Looking For The Code For Visitor Counter

How does your page visitors counter work? Can it be made just using Javascript code or it must use php code too?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you in advance.

 

You can use tools like Google Analytics which will give you a code to embed into your page and track visitors.

 

And that code give me the number of visitors coming to my website each day or other period of time?

 

It will show you the number of visitors over whatever time period you choose. It will also show where your visitors were referred from and their approximate location.

 

Thank you very much for your lovely help. But I did not mean that, mate. I wanted to show the number of visitors on my website, not at Google Analitics

 

You can use other online software that provide a counters that will allow you to show on your website how many visitors your website had over a specific period of time.

One that I know of is Histats.com

You can choose the counter to be displayed on your site for everyone to see. If that's what you need.

 

Yeah, I totally agree. Histats.com has very good dashboard to track all online users on your site. I'm using it for about 40 our sites.

 

Thank you guy for very good help.

 

You can use Histats or just google for visitor counter, you will surely find a huge number of completed code which you can use on your website.

 

I could not register into Histats website due to stupid security code I can not guess despite I try all combinations. What annoying is that.

 

refresh the page and get another one!

 

I have finally registered there and I have implemented the visitors counters into my websites.

 

<?php
 
 
$user_ip        =    getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");    // user ip
$timestamp        =    time();
$url            =    htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);    //file path
 
 
 
$timeoutseconds =    2400;    // Timeout Value in Seconds
$timeout        =    $timestamp-$timeoutseconds;
 
 
 
 
if(isset($sess_user_id)){$user_id=$sess_user_id;}else{$user_id=0;}
 
 
 
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `shop_visitors` (`user_id` ,`user_ip` ,`timestamp` ,`url`) VALUES ('$user_id', '$user_ip', '$timestamp' , '$url') ") or die(".");
mysql_query("DELETE FROM `shop_visitors` WHERE timestamp<$timeout") or die("<br />Records deleting...");
 
 
//Getiing online vistiors
 
 
$results    =    mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT user_ip FROM shop_visitors") or die("Getting records");
 
$online      =    mysql_num_rows($results);
 
if ($online>=0){echo " Now ".$online." visitors online";}
 
 
 
 
 
?>

Code (markup):

I am using this php scripts to count and display live online visitors. you can avoid user_id field in your database table.

You can also visit one of my site to show this scripts live result http://www.tabletbd.com/ (last line in footer)

 

Thank you, mate, but I wanted visitor counter written in Javascript because weebly does not let me to insert php code there. I knew visitors counter in php was easy to find.

 

The problem with JavaScript is it needs to call home somewhere to make a record of how many visitors (or use an image - that used to be very popular). These days, there aren't the same selection of services. Anyway, you got into HiStats! You can always make a "fake" JavaScript one (generates a random number).

 

Thank you mate. Well, I have expected that php must be used to realize the visitor counter. But I will use that one from HiStats. I don't need the fake one. I want to know real results.

 

There's tons online mate

 

You mean similar service like HiStats offers? I am sure other companies offer such a service because it is good way for them to get high traffic to them. But I am not looking for any of them but reliable one and I heard that HiStats is pretty good. Maybe you could recommend something particular?
