Introduction
This is a
CGI
program to keep record of the raw hits of a web page.
It generates a GIF image of the number of hits and returns it to the browser as
an in-lined image. The program also has a run-time option not to show the digit
images, this way the hits can be kept without displaying it. The hits can be
be monitored without incrementing from a separate page as well.
The program can also can display time and date of any timezone. It has a
option to countdown to a specific date (past or future).
Almost all of the
features are run-time options.
This program started as a fun-to-play-with
CGI program but due to enormous interest, feature request, input
from thousands of you, it has
turned in to the most configurable hit counter on the whole World Wide
Web and it's free. The program runs on almost all Known Unix platforms,
Windows NT, OS/2, VMS and Amiga.
