    I want to make a script that will visit my forums and view each thread once so it will boost up the view count, how can I do that?

    Basically a script that will visit the a url such as: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=211864, then /showthread.php?t=211865, and so on.

    This is what I have so far:


    What other way can I do this?

    Thanks

    Yes, but I need a script that will load the page over and over.

    Thanks

    Why? Do you want to increase the views slowly?

    You can do something like this.


    

// Keep the script running in the background, even if browser window has been closed.
ignore_user_abort();
set_time_limit(0);

for ($i = 0; $i < 1000; $i++)
{
      mysql_query('UPDATE vb_thread SET views = (views + 1)');
 
      sleep(60); // Wait a minute and run update again.
}
    PHP:
    This would increase the views to the current views plus 1000, one by one each minute.

<?php
$start_thread = '0';
$end_thread = '3000000';

if($_GET['do'] == NULL){ $do = $start_thread;}else{$do = $_GET['do'];}

$next_do = $do+1;
if($next_do > $end_thread){ die ('Done');}
?>
