asp script of download statistic

Hello, Gurus .
I upload my product catalog to one of my ecommerce site .
I would like to trace how many times my catalog had been download .

At present, my site is using asp scripts .
Are there any asp scripts that can help me .
I appreciate your help . thanks .
(PS. are there any php version of the scripts too ?)

 

you could use something simple like: (download.asp):

<%
Dim fso, f, cnt

On Error Resume Next

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("downloads.txt"))
cnt = f.ReadLine
cnt = cnt + 1
f.Close

Set f = fso.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("downloads.txt"), 2, True)
f.WriteLine cnt
f.Close

Set f = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing

Response.Redirect "catalog.pdf"
%>

Code (markup):

This would record the number of hits in a file 'downloads.txt'. You would then link to the file like:

<a href="download.asp">View Catalog</a>

Code (markup):

Thanks for your feedback .
So I can change the following code
Response.Redirect "catalog.pdf" to "catalog.zip" or other file format .
The catalog.pdf/catalog.zip must be on the same direct of download.asp . Am I right ?

 

yep,
well it doesnt have to be, but with that code it would. and downloads.txt would also be in the same directory.
come to think of it:

Response.Redirect Server.MapPath("catalog.zip")

Code (markup):

for that last line might be better.

If you wanted catalog in a different directory a / in front of the file name(catalog.zip) will bring it back to the root directory. so you could go from there.

 

Hello, camjohnson95
I upload the scripts to my site .
I can download the catalog.zip .
But the count doesn't work .
(I set initail number 1 to download.txt , but I test to download the file and the count doesn't work. )

 

just note that the filename I have used is 'downloads.txt' with an 's' on the end.
make sure that your refresh downloads.txt when viewing it too ensure it is not the cached version of the file.

 

camjohnson95 .
Yes, the script works perfect . I mistook downloads.txt and download.txt .
Thanks .
