Re: Creating a simple hitcounter for PHP web pages. (saves to files)

..oO(tony19760619@xxxxxxxxx)

This code will still throw at least three notices. You should fix your
error_reporting, as already suggested in alt.php.

My PHP environment is set to ignore Notices.

Really bad idea. No serious developer does this.

I tested the code, and it does work.

Notices are caused by bugs. Not severe bugs, but still bugs. And
sometimes a notice might even indicate a really big problem. Without
them you might have a hard time to find the reason for some problems.

In short: Code that throws notices is bad code.

So if you want to use it...you can.

I don't need hit counters.

I will leave the fixing up of the notices..and the other stuff
mentioned in "alt.php" to someone else.

You're offering buggy and unreliable code, which is why I responded.

If you feel up to it, you can do it..then post it back here if you
like :)

Why should I? No one needs hit counters except as a programming
exercise. You should learn how to do things properly right from the
beginning, which means to fix E_NOTICE errors and some other things.
