If someone clicks then

[thetzfreak]

What code would this be? I want some code to be executed if someone clicks on a certain link. So it would be something like

$x = 0
if (someone clicks on this link);
{
$x = $x +1;
}
echo "$x";

Basically, if someone clicks, the number goes up.

I was told this could be done easily with javascript. Can someone help me by giving me this javascript code?

Thanks.

I'm not sure how to do it with javascript but I'm assuming that you are refering to a type of counter (click tracking). In which you are going to have to store the variable $x either in a flat file or a database. Otherwise $x will equal 0 everytime the page is refreshed.

If you'd like help with doing in PHP then I can lend a hand.

i'm no expert, but assuming you wan't the link to actually take you somewhere, you only have two options, create a cookie, or add a variable to the end of URL ex.

before:
www.example.com

after:
www.example.com/?variable=111

the ending won't effect anything about the page

you can retrieve the variable on the next page with the javascript:
variable = window.location.search.substring(1);

which will return
variable = 'variable=111'- this is a string, you'd have to extract the number somehow and set it to the variable all over again

as for the link part, you could set it up so:
<a href="#" onclick="somefunction()">

somefunction might be:
function somefunction(){
variable = variable + 1
window.location='www.example.com/?variable='+variable
}

hope this helps-
i'm sure there are plenty of 'better' ways, but i've found this to be fairly simplistic

What you want is ususally referred to as link/click tracking. You'll need both PHP (or another server side language) to do this. Google it, there are plenty of these scripts.

Another thing u can do is make a txt file and make +1 the number on it and then display the number
