Have you searched THIS FORUM for your problem:
(if not please do before posting)
If so, what terms did you try: unique hits, and lots of others

Write your message below:

Is there a way to make the gcount only count unique hits- not count every time someone goes back to the index? Thanks alot- Mike

I *think* this will work

At the very top of the graphcount.php, below the copyright notice, add

Code: Select all

if (!isset($_SESSION['visit'])) {

then at the bottom right before "?>" add

Code: Select all

$_SESSION['visit'] = TRUE;

} else {

$count = $count - 1;

for ($i=0;$i<strlen($count);$i++) {
    $digit=substr("$count",$i,1);
    // Build the image URL ...
    $src = $base_url . $style_folder . $digit . "." . $ext;
    echo "document.write('<img src=\"$src\" border=0>');\n";
}

exit();

}

Let me know if that doesn't work

Doesn't work for me.
Can someone paste the whole script here? Thanks.

Try adding

Code: Select all

session_start();

just above this code

Code: Select all

if (!isset($_SESSION['visit'])) {

I tried, but still doesn't work.
Hope someone can help me.

Code: Select all

Hello Klemen,

Having tried the graphical hit counter, I find it excellent, but the code given by ‘zr’ to make it unique does not work, even with the mod you added later.

Is there any possibility, when time permits, that you could look at the code to enable the counter to only count unique hits, This would make it a first rate choice against the yucky “free” counters that come with (sometimes) unpleasant commercial links.

Regards, Jim.

I might do that, but really don't know when. I'm currently writing my diploma and have little time to even check the forum, leave alone editing the scripts.

Thank you Klemen, and good fortune with your studies.
