How to count clicks on links

[TKaeser]

Hello,

I want to make a ranking of the links in a link database: which links are used the most.

eg: Every time the link is clicked, its clickcounter is increased by one and stored in the db.

I think you could do it trough a form, with different buttons for every link, but i want to keep the links like they are (underlined text).

Any good ideas on this?

Thanks!
Thomas

you could just use some server logging to do this, or write a php-redirect script that stores the redirect url to the db.

example: change each link to have a redirect.php?url= before the existing link, then in redirect.php, log the $url to the db (increment the 'click count' field for that url), then do a header("Location: $url" and neither the user nor your current site design will be affected.

good luck! -gerrygerry
