Googling for this finds me a ton of stuff that doesn't actually do what I'm looking for. I want a simple hit counter cgi script of some kind that will increment a counter on every page load but I want to access the counter from a different page. In other words, I don't want to have a visible hit counter on the webpage itself. I want to have a different webpage that will show me the number. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Regards, Keith -- In theory, theory and practice are the same; in practice they are not. This email was sent from my laptop with Centos 5.5

Otherwise, you should probably take a look at one of the reporting packages like AWstats that analyze the Apache logs. No one really uses those simple counters much anymore.

The reporting I think defaults to 12 months of stored data which is stored normally in a directory in the web root for that website. That directory of course can be protected by something like htaccess. << Just a heads up: the Webalizer report logs are not managed by logrotate, and will continue to accumulate indefinitely. I had a server fall over a couple of months ago when /var filled up; after a little du'ing, I discovered that the thing had three and a half years' worth of Webalizer logs taking up a lot of space.
