Page Visit Counter

[jnscollier]

Soooo, I found this awesome script in one of the threads :

        <?php
$cdata = file_get_contents("counter.txt");
$ndata = ($cdata+1);
$handle = fopen("counter.txt","w+");
fwrite($handle,$ndata);
fclose($handle);
echo "\n<br>".$cdata." visits";
?>

But, here's my issue and i'm hoping someone can help me...
All my blogs go to one page and I pull from a SQL table and display the data for the particular blog selected... Example:

/viewblogdetails.php?blogid=205

ok, so I put the above script on that page and it of course increments every time the page is pulled up - regardless of the particular blog. I want to make a counter that counts only the views for a particular blog. Is that possible? Can I modify this code to make that?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

If you're using SQL, then wy not just use that to store the count?
Anyway, sure. Just find some way to create a specific text file per SQL item created.
For example, if you have $table set as the table you're searching in the database, then you could use $table.'counter.txt', which would be a specific file to the particular table used.
Or, instead of $table, use whatever data IS specific, such as the part of the SQL command with WHERE ____ = 'THIS'.
So, find the specific info, then use that in addition to the filename.

I don't know why I didn't think of doing via SQL... but that's what I ended up doing, thanks!

Best option. Glad it worked out.
