You could use a server side PHP script to keep track of the downloads, then you can use a meta tag to redirect to the file:

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; url=file.zip">
<?php

$count = file_get_contents("counter.txt") or die("could not read counter.txt");
echo $count . " downloads so far";
$count++;
file_put_contents("counter.txt", $count) or die("could not write counter.txt");

?>

Hi mandai,

If you are only interested in getting the value you should download the counter.txt file directly.

sorry mandai
but i must sound like a idiot because i don't get it what you are talking about?

i only need to read the value from all the downloads and show them in a label
in the current .html page.

cryer; didn't know this gonna be so difficult

This PHP script will show the download count on the current page, as long as your server supports PHP. When you say label what HTML tag are you talking about?

You just need to put the PHP script in that area of the document body.

:? seems not really to work :(

You could do this in JS.

Here's a simple script, but I didn't add the cookie option so it'll revert back to 0 on page is reloaded, or visited. Just each time you press the "Download" button it'll add 1 to the counter.

I'm sure you guys can add onto this, but it's something simple, and maybe will help others. If you wanna learn how to add cookies, and such look here.

However if you want to write a hitcounter that records hits from any and all users; you cannot use Javascript - it can't write data to anywhere except cookies, which are unique to each user's browser.

So, you'll have to use some serverside application/script/method to record data permanantly at your server. [source]

So you're better off using PHP, or Ajax for this.

oops
