Two Download Counter Scripts
Last week's featured article in Possibilities ezine was A File Download Counter. Clicking on a download link launches a web page to initiate the download.
WebSite's Secret members have access to a download counter with reporting that is a direct download, no interim web page.
Both are PHP. Both write a line in a log file whenever the download link is clicked.
The file download counting script presented with the featured article uses an interim web page for automatically initiating the download. To see how many downloads have occurred, see how many lines are in the log file.
The download counter available at the WebSite's Secret membership area automatically initiates the download when the link is clicked. The script can also report to the site owner how many links have been clicked. And, it can download the entire log file.
