how to count values?

[Balderick 0]

      <?php  

     if (empty($count)) {
	
	$count=''; }

 
     if ($count == '') {
	$count ='1';  } else  {
	  $count++ ; }
 
     echo $count;
     echo '<br>';
     ?>

My goal is to make a script that increments $count ever time someone downloads the page.

 

Can this be done without 'storing' the $count value?

Or should I create a script with fwrite/fopen or $_SESSION?

If you want it to be persistent with all users then you need persistent storage, either a file or a database.
