    Hi there,

    I want to do up a simple script that says "XXXX person has read this article"

    And XXXX will increase everytime the page is shown.

    Can I use Javascript to do this, with cookie to track unique users?

    Thanks.

    To track the number of total persons, you will have to store the value in a database.

    Are the articles stored in a database?
    What programming language are you using?
    What database type? MySQL?
