This page provides an overview of our download counter PHP scripts
which implement a way of counting the number of times a file was downloaded from
a website.
This will enable statistics to be gathered for analysis. This information is
captured and stored in a SQL table (actually a MySQL table).
The majority of the code is written in PHP, however, there is also some sample
HTML provided to show how to test the facility and also an example of
displaying the counter statistics.
We have a zip file that contains all of the collateral available
here.
There are several pre-requisites for the implementation of the code these are:
- An SQL type database (i.e. MySQL). This is for holding the download counter table. Normally this should be part of the webhosting platform that you are using.
- PHP needs to be available (This also should be part of the web hosting platform).
- All of the PHP and INC files in the Zip file are transferred to your web server.
- All of the PHP and INC files must be in the same folder/directory. The only exception is the test TXT file which should reside in your chosen download directory as a test sample.
- You will need an unzip utility as the facility is distributed as a zip file. We recommend 7-zip.
Please read the Implementation Guide for full details on how to install and implement the Download counter facility.
The facility comprises of the following components:
