Web Visit Counter

[LB]

I was wondering.. if I made a small counter for my website that counted each time my website was visited, and saved it to an ini file, if I put the program on the web, would it have access rights to the ini file if I put that on the web too? And how would I go about making sure a page refresh wouldn't throw it off?

It's not a case of access rights, it's the fact that the CCN file is not running on the server at all. It is downloaded and run on the local machine, so there is no way this is possible without using another method like a seperate FTP connection (which is insecure and overkill!)

Could you not just use a simple PHP script and pass the PHP variable to the Vitalize! application to display it?

[LB]

I could, but I'm not very sure how to do it.

And with that known, I'll figure it out later.

Also, does a V4 .ccn file have to be on the web to work?

no, it can be in a sub application or on a H/D.
If you want a simple vitalize and PHP web counter, I will make one for you, just say

[LB]

OK. Maybe later. But what I mean is, can I insert a .ccn to a webpage that I don't put on the web?

[neat_Kliker2]

yes, you can put it on a CDR if you like and embed a CCN

Could you not grab the value from the file and send it to the app using a javascript function (seeing as V4 supports this)?
