Counter in ASP

Learn how to make a hit counter in ASP.

A hit counter is an essential part of a site to know how many peopleare coming to site. Here is an easy way to make a counter. All you needis access to ASP and be able to give a write access to a directory.We're going to save the amount of hits in a .txt file so that we won'tneed to worry about database connections.
Here is what we have to write in English:

Call the FSO (File System Object) to open it for reading. If count.txt does not exist, the FSO will create it.
Use the On Error Resume Next function to disregard an error should ASP recieve one in the case that count.txt is empty.
Read the file to a variable.
Add one to the variable.
Close the file, then Open it for writing.
Write the file in Overwrite mode ("2").
Close the file.
Display the number of hits.
Clear all instances of FSO

Here it is in ASP:

<%Set FSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")Readfile = Server.MapPath ("count.txt")Set File = FSO.OpenTextFile (Readfile, 1,true)On Error Resume NextRead = File.ReadallCount = ReadCount = Count + 1 'incrementsFile.CloseWritefile = ReadfileSet File = FSO.OpenTextFile (Writefile, 2)File.Write("" & Count & "")File.CloseResponse.write("" & Count & "")Set FSO = Nothing%>

Thats it! Just place the code into any file, and make sure the file aswell as count.txt have read/write access on the IUSR_ account. If youare using a webhost, this access is probably already set.
