How to show amount of downloads

[harkly]

I want to show the amount of times an image has been viewed, ive tried this:

<script src="http://fastwebcounter.com/secure.php?s=IMAGE></script>

But it doesn't seem to work, it shows the amount of times that page has been viewed. Any ideas of scripts I could use?

This needs to be done with a server-side language such as PHP. In PHP, the code would run as follows:

<?php
// clickcounter.inc.php
$newline = "\n"; // Newline symbol for the server.  Likely values are "\n" for *n?x or "\r\n" for Windows.
$filename = "clickcount.dat"; // Name of the file in which to store number of clicks.

// Function to get the number of registrants.
function getClicks() {
  global $filename, $newline;
  return file_exists($filename) ? implode(file($filename), $newline) + 0 : 0;
}

// Function to increment the number of registrants.
function incClicks() {
  global $filename, $newline;
  $clickcount = getClicks();
  $clickcount++;
  $file = fopen($filename, "w");
  fputs($file, $clickcount);
  fclose($file);
}
?>

<!-- Top of the page on which to display the number of clicks: -->
<?php include("clickcounter.inc.php"); ?>
<!-- Where you want to display the number of views: -->
<p>Number of views: <?php echo(getClicks()); ?></p>

<?php
  // This page instead of the image:
  include("clickcounter.inc.php");
  $image = "myimage.png";
  header("Content-Type: " . mime_content_type($image));
  incClicks();
  readfile($image);
?>
