Help! Rotator script - An Easy One For You Guys?

[frankmill]

Hello All,

 

 

I am testing 3 pages, and have found a script to rotate between the 3 pages. These are the pages people see after they have opted into a squeeze page.

 

What I would like to do is record in a text file how many times each thank-you page has been "hit".

 

This is the script I have:

 

<?

 

//enter your affiliate urls below, you can enter as many as you want, please

//make sure that you have the affiliate url with the SUBID syntax at the end

//of it, for reference goto: subids.com for more information.

$offer[1] = 'http://urlthankyou1.html';

$offer[2] = 'http://urlthankyou2.html';

$offer[3] = 'http://urlthankyou3.html';

 

//this is the text file, which will be stored in the same directory as this file,

//count.txt needs to be CHMOD to 777, full privlledges, to read and write to it.

$myFile = "count.txt";

 

//open the txt file

$fh = @fopen($myFile, 'r');

$offerNumber = @fread($fh, 5);

@fclose($fh);

 

//see which landing page is next in line to be shown.

if ($offerNumber >= count($offer)) {

$offerNumber = 1;

} else {

$offerNumber = $offerNumber + 1;

}

 

//write to the txt file.

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");

$stringData = $offerNumber . "\n";

fwrite($fh, $stringData);

fclose($fh);

 

 

//redirect to the affilate url, + add the subid at the end

header('location: ' .$offer[$offerNumber]);

 

?>

 

At the moment it just records the last offer number it seems.

 

What do I need to do to get it to record the actual number of times each offer is viewed?

Is there a way of also getting it to record the number of times the offer is uniquely viewed?

 

 

Thanks for any help. Hopefully this is an easy one for you guys - I think the "write to the txt file" part of the script needs to be altered, but my php is a little rusty!

 

 

Regards

Perhaps it would make sense to use Google analytics for keeping track of the analytics portion of this? I think that would be a much more cost-effective option, since you wouldn't have to write everything yourself and it would take care of tracking page views/unique page views.

Thanks Ben - I have done just that. Don't know why I didn't think of this before!

 

 

However - just in the interest of not being too dependant on Google, and also of just knowing how to do it - isn't there a simple way of adjusting this code?
