PHP – Page Counter

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 10.2008

Hi

I am trying to create a page counter in PHP.

Table structure:

[CODE]
Table Name: tbl_counter
Column Name:total_views
Column Datatype: integer[/CODE]

I am using the following SQL query on the page.

[CODE]
UPDATE tbl_counter SET total_views=total_views+1[/CODE]

I know its weird but, sometimes the counter increases twice instead of 1, any idea why?

@scragarAug 10.2008 — It could be a simple lack of a response to a request, method of avoiding this is to simply log the users IP, if they view the page again too soon ignore the increment, sure it's slower, but it avoids your error.

Success!
