phpNet's Text counter

Counters are used in many websites so that the webmaster will be able to see how many people come to their website. They are used throughout the web on numerous websites, sometimes all too common. I recommend not using a counter unless you have a decent website that will attract a lot of visitors, but you may do so anyways if you so desire. Enough small talk, time for the actual tutorial. In this tutorial you will need to create two files. The first one is a text file called "counter.txt" that will be used to keep track of the number of visitors. The second file is a php file called "visit.php" that will be used to add to the number of visitors. So create those two files on your website both in the main directory. Open up the "counter.txt" file in notepad or any other text editor that you prefer to use and type in the number zero and save the file.
