Need scripts that lists how many times file downloaded i want a script that counts and lists how many times a file has been downloaded or how many times a link has been clicked and i want it to post the number on the page for visitors to see can anyone provide that?
Small, FREE, no database! Fast Apps. Yes, just setup a php and txt file per download. Sorry, I have no idea as I've never needed to set one up for public display. You could also try contacting a few developers via their websites or if they have their own forums, approach them there.
The CSS rules below target the file-manager div by id with the hash symbol , as it is present only once in the page, and the rest of the elements by class names. The interesting part here is that the download label is hidden by default with display:none.
A bit of CSS3 is also used as well to round the corners of the download label. As mentioned earlier, PHP loops through the files folder, and outputs each file as a li element in the unordered list. Now lets take a closer look at how this happens. It is important to check if, by any chance, the visitor is a search engine robot scanning your links and not a real person.
Robots are a good thing, as they get you included in services like Google Search, but in a situation such as this, can skew your download statistics. First, lets explain how this particular query works:. However, the filename field is defined as a unique index in the table. This means that a row can be inserted only once, otherwise a duplicate key error will occur. This way new files will be automatically inserted in the database the first time they are downloaded.
To make the download tracking feel almost like real-time, it will be a nice addition to update the counter next to the file name once the user initiates the download. Otherwise they would have to initiate a page refresh so that new stats for the counter are shown. We just assign a click handler to the links that point to the files, and every time one of them is clicked, we increment the number inside of the counter span tag. There is one more thing we need to do, before we call it a day.
What download. However you may have noticed that, for certain file types, the default browser behavior is to open them directly. We want to initiate a download instead. This is achieved with a couple of lines inside of a. You can find the needed SQL code that will create the table for you in table.
After this, just add your login details for the database as provided by your webhost to configuration. Great write-up! I didn't know about the. Good to know. Could you also post the MySQL table structure in the tutorial?
Thank u for this tutorial. But I think there is one big problem in this method. When I press button 'download', counter is incremented. I may cancel download and press 'download' again May be solution is add check session. In this way u may Increment counter only in one session.
What do u think? Whether you hit cancel or not is up to the client, but the server should still respond that an attempted download has occurred. A web-server will never know whether a client side download has fully completed without a client-side app. Implementing a session based download manager would not be able to establish whether a completed download has occurred. To be able to track when a download was completed server-side, you could optionally read the file and output it entirely with PHP with the appropriate header instead of redirecting the browser.
This, however, is above the level of the tutorial and the current solution with a redirect will be sufficient for most users. Yes, methodology is correct and this tutorial will be sufficient for MOST users. We can write into section variable when download was started by user. And check this variable if download will be started again. I'ld like to count file downloads with PHP. The downloads number should be stored in a. TXT file.

If you need to track a large number of different file downloads, use Download Handler. Install the script source code and instructions further below. Then link to the script instead of directly to the downloadable file. The click log includes the date and time and some other information. There is one line per download. To count how many downloads have occurred, read how many lines there are in the log file.
Browser's Choice — The browser can choose to download the file to the hard drive or to download the file and display it in a browser window. If it is a web page or plain text file, the browser is most likely to display the file in its own window. Some file types, like PDF or MP3, might display in the browser window or download to the hard drive, depending on browser preferences and settings. Force Download — The browser is told explicitly to download the file to the hard drive regardless the file type, even HTML and plain text files.
However, except for the few browsers when the above may apply, the browser is virtually certain to do the download. When you customize the File Download Counter source code, you can specify whether to let the browser choose the destination of the download hard drive or browser window or to explicitly direct the browser to store the file on the hard drive. There are three places for customizing the software, all clearly marked with instructions in the source code.
