Hi there,

I wrote a counter script which counts each unique visitor,
and counts how often a visitor has visited. The data
is stored in a "counter.txt" file divided by "||".

The lines in the file are constructed as follows:

linenumber||ip-address||times-visited||

e.g.

...
43||34.913.657.901||53||
44||436.422.67.78||5||
45||346.465.3.436||27||
...

I count unique visitors by counting the number of lines,
but how can i count the total of hits?
So that means adding up the 3rd part of each line...
(I've searched php.net, and tried some of the array functions
but i can't figure it out.)

Thanks in advance.

Greetings Knoakske
