Introduction:

The main features of this user counter script are: it doesn’t require a database to run, it allows you to record multiple user types (eg: Guests & Members), and you can display this information on any page (not just limited to .PHP pages). In it’s most basic usage, this script allows you to display how many people are viewing your website at any one time. You can style this any way you like. You can also place this anywhere, on any page. The javascript mode allows you to use this on .HTML pages as well.

Setup is easy! Just upload a single PHP script to your website and away you go.

Requirements:

You need a PHP4 or PHP5 hosting account (99% of hosting will support this) on either Windows or Linux.

Live Demo:

Open up a some different browsers (eg: Firefox and Safari) and then visit the live demo page. Here you can see the different Javascript and PHP methods for using this script.

What you get:

You get the magic single PHP file to upload to your website, along with simple HTML /Javascript and PHP usage examples. There is also a readme file in the download that explains the different ways you can use this script.
