    Hi

    I have a problem. I have a button on my website, I want it to counts how many times it has been clicked and display it under it. fx

    <button here>

    This button has been clicked 2746 times.

    I allready have a coded button with a function, which it must keep.

    Well, if you want it only php you should redirect it to another page, which inserts data into the database. And the other should be easy :)

    the code is onclick="javascript:countclick();"

    and the code for countclick() is:
    function countclick()
    {
    var c=new Image();
    img.src="/counter.php";
    }

    If your sticking it in a database or a txt file then you'll need some php. Then have a div under the button and update that with innerHTML through JavaScript (if your using ajax - if your posting it back then get PHP to update the number).
