This counter can be customized to any number of digits and, when provided for free, can display a simple ad.
When running, you need to create a directory datas in the counter directory that the nobody account has the right to rewrite.
The actual running example is at
http://www.hnpts.ha.cn/freecount.htm
Header(" Content-type: image/png");
if ($user=="") $user="test";
$fn="datas/".$user.".txt";
if ($bit= ="") $bit=8; //Take the default value
if (is_readable($fn)) {$f=fopen($fn,"r");
$c=fgets($f,255);fclose ($f);} //Read the original count value
else $c="0"; //New user
$l=strlen($c); //Calculate the actual value length
$cnt="";
for ($i=0;$i<$bit-$l;$i++) $cnt.="0";//Add "0" in front to make up the specified number of digits
$cnt.=$c;$c1 =intval($c);$c1++;
$f=fopen($fn,"w");fputs($f,$c1);fclose($f); //Write back
$f
if (( $c1%10==9)&&($user!="test")) {$cnt="www.hnpts.ha.cn";$f
//Display ads when conditions are met
$s=ImageTTFBBox($ font,0,"times.ttf", $cnt);
$x=abs($s[4])+8;$y=abs($s[5])+7;
$im = imagecreate($ x,$y);
$black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0,0,0);
$white = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255,255,255);
if ($f
imagerectangle($im,1,1,$ x-2,$y-2,$white);}
else $green = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255,255,255);
ImageTTFText($im,$font,0, 3,$y-5, $green, "times .ttf", $cnt);
ImagePng($im);
ImageDestroy($im);
?>
The above introduces a PHP multi-user counter code with a custom number of digits, including the relevant content. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in PHP tutorials.
