| TextCounter requires Server Side Includes and will display a text count of the number of visitors to a page in your web site. TextCounter includes options such as 0 padding numbers, file locking, linking from the count, displaying the date from when the count began and more. There is also a C++ Version of this script available, and a graphical counter. It works on multiple pages and allows you to restrict accesses to certain parts of your server. This program is both easy to use and configure. There are several downloading options available below and more information on this script can be found in the Readme file. |
